Celebrated Appellations

What is an Appellation?   

An appellation is the geographical location identifying where the grapes for specific wines were grown. Appellations may vary in scope – from hundreds of thousands of acres, to just a few. 

 

Official status requires approval from official trade bureaus and the government of the country where the grapes are grown. To legally display the name of the appellation on a bottle, and to guarantee the quality and authenticity of the wine, appellations must adhere to observing geographical boundaries, maximum crop yield, type of grapes used, and more.
