As far as I know the 2007 GG Weißburgunder has 13.5% ABV, exactly as much as my Auslese, so I would assume that it is, in that sense, the same wine. Technically, to be carry the GG label a wine has to be at least of Spätlese quality though. With your assessment of the 2007 you agree with at least one of the leading German wine guides who suggested to give the wine a little time, and that I would mature well until 2014+. From my own experience, this particular guide does seem to sometimes underestimate how long certain wines can be stored - and I say this as someone who has to keep most of his wines in a wardrobe (in a relatively cool room though).
I haven't had that many Alto Adige wines, but the ones I have tried so far I really liked. Fascinating to hear that their WB can make it well over several decades, so thanks for sharing that, Andrew!
