Grosses Gewächs – Some of the Best Whites There Are
Never heard of GGs? Snobs will say they are just a successful German marketing exercise, but they don’t know what they’re missing. German whites in the major growing regions used to be an afterthought: make the sweet wines, then ferment to trocken whatever grapes were left.
