This estate-bottled Erste Lage (First Growth) Riesling is produced from grapes grown in the Graacher Dompropst single vineyard in Germany’s Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region. In order to qualify as an Erste Lage, a vineyard must meet specific yield limits of 50hl/ha, sugar content of grapes must be at least Spätlese level and the wine is subject to comparative taste-testing by the German V.D.P., the country’s official wine governing body.
