regional wines
Terroir-specific bottles
Regional wines are wines identified by their geographic origin rather than grape variety, emphasizing how local climate, soil, and tradition shape character.
The term often distinguishes wines from smaller or lesser-known areas from those of famous regions: We focused on regional wines from Portugal's Alentejo.
