Site name

A site (German: "Lage") is a vineyard, whose borders are defined by wine law, which is provided with a specific official name registered by the Chamber of Agriculture. Its name does not have to be indicated on the label, but is usually found there (not on brands or varietal wines). If the site name is used then the community name must be added as well. The site is the narrowest geographical indication of origin. As part of the new VDP quality declaration, site wines are the highest quality.
