An additional term used in many countries around the world to designate higher quality wines. However, it has no meaning in terms of wine law. Mostly it refers to a selection of special sites and/or grapes. The term is also frequently used in combination with other terms. These are for example Private Bin, Private Reserve or Private Selection. See also Reserve.
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
