| Thanks Peter I suppose it's not wrong to think that a Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese Trocken can be as good as a Riesling Großes Gewächs from the same vineyard. Are wines under Großes Gewächs allowed to be chapterlized?

The must weight would likely be the same as for the Spätlese trocken, and the wine would also be in a dry style, but the Spätlese trocken could be from any registered vineyard, most probably not from a first growth vineyard. In the Rheingau, one third of all vineyard area is classified Großes Gewächs. > > There are some more rules, but this should help. There is no guarantee whatsoever that the Großes Gewächs will be better than the Spätlese trocken, the only near certainty is that it will be more expensive than the Spätlese - there are virtually no Große Gewächse below about 23 Euros per bottle. > > Kind regards, > Peter > "Raymond" <raymd@singnet.com.sg> schrieb: > > > > Love the wine but dislike that fickle clasification.
