A term frequently used in the New World for a wine-growing operation (estate = property, country estate, vineyard or manor). Similar to Château in France, "estate" is intended to suggest a certain quality and tradition, which implies a high standard of wine production. In South Africa, Estate is the smallest unit in the nested hierarchy of controlled origin (Wine of Origin), followed by Ward, District and Region.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
