About VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS:

The “GG” on a wine bottle – the abbreviation for a VDP.GROSSES GEWÄCHS® in combination with the VDP.Eagle, the logo of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter / Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates), makes the hearts of wine enthusiasts all over the world beat faster.  

These two letters are a promise: This bottle contains a top-quality dry wine from one of the best German vineyards. This promise can only be made because the sites classified as VDP.GROSSE LAGE® have demonstrated over decades that they convey the terroir – their origin – in an unmistakable way and produce wines of such quality that they inevitably attract the attention of the international wine world.
