Name used in Austria under wine law (lat. primus = the first) for regional wines and quality wines. In addition to "Primus", the terms "Primaner", "Erster", "Der Erste", "Der Junge", "Der junge ...", "Der Neue" and "... Junker" may also be used. The wines so designated must be placed on the market no later than 30 April (31 March was valid until 2017) of the year following the harvest. See also under Jungwein and Junker.
Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
