Correct answer is: Vino de Pago
Excellent! that is the right answer.
Vino de Pago
Designation for a new wine quality level introduced in Spain in 2003 for privileged , origin-protected wine-growing areas. It was adopted by the Cortes Generales, the Spanish parliament, in order to improve the quality endeavours of Spanish viticulture. The quality requirements correspond at least to those of DOCa wines and form the top of the Spanish quality pyramid in viticulture. This corresponds roughly to the French term Grand Cru. Wines labelled as Vinos de Pago may not carry any other quality designation or indication of origin. Individual wineries can obtain this status under certain conditions.
