This is the
Rhinegau equivalent of Grosses Gewachs. and it is designated by the group of
three arches flanked by the words Erstes Gewachs. The top wine from Erste Lage
vineyards in the Rheingau, it must be hand picked selectively with a minimum ripeness of the Spatlese level,
fermented fairly dry, with a maximum residual sugar of 13g/L and a minimum of
12% alcohol. Only Riesling and Pinot Noir are admitted to the Erstes Gewachs
classification.
I tasted this wine at the "accidental wine tasting" whilst attending a medical seminar on brain and respiratory monitoring. As for the wine itself, it was a nice golden yellow with a crisp slightly sweet stone fruit nose. The palate was sweet acid and fruity, with a Chinese sour plum type acidity running through the palate onto a nice finish.
