It’s 20 years for the reason that Grosse Gewächs (GG) made its first public look. In September 2002, the Affiliation of German Prädikat Wine Estates (VDP) offered its new wine class in Berlin: nice dry wines from one of the best labeled vineyards. That yr, 78 wineries confirmed wines from round 100 websites.
With the Grosses Gewächs, the affiliation’s roughly 200 members rejected the forms of the 1971 German wine regulation, which nonetheless evaluates a wine’s high quality solely in keeping with grape sugar content material at harvest.

The VDP, nonetheless, believes that the origin counts as effectively, not simply ripeness. ‘Solely a vine rising in concord with its winery can produce grapes for really nice, distinctive wines that tangibly mirror their soil and local weather,’ says Steffen Christmann, president of the affiliation.
The brand new classic has been launched each 1 September since then, with the whites normally from the earlier yr and the reds at the very least two years previous.
This September noticed a complete of 629 new Grosse Gewächse from 327 labeled websites. The white wines, predominantly from the 2021 classic, had been virtually a throwback to cooler occasions: with pronounced acidity and ravishing freshness. The 2020 reds, coming from a really heat classic, confirmed simply the other, expressed as excessive focus and density.
