Premier Cru

Premier Cru wines - German wines with the VDP.ERSTE LAGE® (Erste Lage or Erstes Gewächs) classification - are produced from regionally defined grapes varieties grown in first-class vineyards with superior terroir. The growing conditions for the vines must be optimal, grapes are selected by hand and vinification is by exclusively traditional methods. As such, these conditions produce exceptional quality wines that have their own distinctive character.
