Wine made from grapes of one specific vineyard.

Full Definition

Single vineyard wines come exclusively from one named vineyard site, showcasing that location's terroir. The term has no strict legal definition in most regions. Single vineyard wines are often a producer's premium offerings, demonstrating site-specific character. Burgundy's climat system formalizes this approach.
