Can Prädikatswein be chaptalised?

Explanation:
Prädikatswein is defined by the natural ripeness of grapes, reflected in specific must-weight thresholds that are reached without adding sugar. Chaptalisation would artificially raise the sugar content and the alcohol potential, undermining the very basis of this wine category. Because of that, Prädikatswein cannot be chaptalised at any level (Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, etc.). The prohibition is a general rule for Prädikatswein, not something that applies only to one sub-category or to Sekt.
