Region – An official boundary created by the Australian geographical indications to indicate a unique and homogenous wine growing region. Sub-region – an official boundary created by the Australian geographical indications and based on evidence of sub-regional differences, including climate, soils and overall wine style. ‘Grounds’ – an unofficial but locally recognised ‘locality’ observed through the character of micro-climate, soil composition, geology, individual vineyard site and the grower’s touch (how the grower tends the vines).
