"Wines of Origin"

For most wine growing countries and producers authentic wines which embody regional growing conditions as well as a specific wine profile are playing a crucial role in their marketing. The new subject matter provides the producers with the opportunity to present area specific wines of origin.

grapes must originate exclusively from the relevant location

production must take place in the country of origin of the grapes

wines are produced exclusively using grapes of the " Vitis vinifera" variety
