Subject: Re: GERMAN CLASSIFICATION - PUZZLE!!


Jochen,

Indeed this is somewhat confusing. However, Grosses gewächs wine is
required by regulation to be at least Spätlese in quality. Here is a citation:


4. Oenologische Werte
Das Lesegut für Grosse Gewächse muss zumindest Spätlesequalität haben.
(from the German VDP website)
So there should NEVER be any chapitalization in a GG wine.
I'm interested in finding specific regulations for the Mosel (in German or
English), which is apparently neglected on the Verband site. Do you have a
citation to them?
Best, John Trombley

A "Großes Gewächs" is NOT a QmP; the expression is not covered by German
wine law (but is something as a brand of a growers' business association,
the VdP); as far as I know these wines can indeed be chaptalized
