Definitions for "Grosslage"
Keywords:  vineyard, einzellagen, geh, lah, german
(gross'-lah-guh) German for "large vineyard." In German wine law it is a collection of individual vineyards (Einzellagen) that share common traits. This allows the wines to be marketed under either their vineyard name, or the often better known Grosslage name.
Translating literally to "large site"; this term refers collectively to a group of individual German wine-producing sites, called Einzellagen. Intended to unite wines sharing specific regional characteristics, this designation has brought about misleading labelling, leading to calls for a more strict definition.
(GROSS-lah-geh) - Literally "large vineyard," a German wine-law designation for a group of individual vineyards whose fruit may be assembled into a wine sold under the Grosslage name.
