Vineyard Site
Die Regionen legen im ersten Schritt ihre Grossen Lagen fest. Diese Bezeichnung ist den großen trockenen Weinen vorbehalten. Für die frucht- und edelsüßen Weine kann die Bezeichnung Erste Lage ausgewiesen werden. Somit entscheidet jede Region über die Drei- oder Vierstufigkeit ihrer Bezeichnungen. Einfachere und mittlere Lagen gehen in Gutsweinen und Ortsweinen auf.
