Everything would be reasonably easy to explain until we got to the Grosses Gewachs/Erste Lage/etc. changes. Now a wine from the Piesporter Goldtropfchen (the Goldtropfchen vineyard in Piesport) can possibly be labeled as just "Goldtropfchen". Of course if it is the wine is dry (at least according to the German definition of dry) & comes in a really fancy bottle.
Just remember the German motto: there's nothing so confusing that we can't make it more confusing.
