vineyard region
Grape-growing territory
A vineyard region is a geographic area recognized for grape cultivation and wine production, often with distinctive climate, soil, and terrain that influence the character of its wines.
Famous examples include Bordeaux, Napa Valley, and Tuscany.
Wine labels frequently identify the vineyard region to indicate quality and style: a crisp white from the Loire Valley.
