How this ranking is built
Producers are included when WhatDrink has a canonical producer-to-region relationship supported by the catalogue data.

Representative wines are selected from products with a stable relationship to this region, with preference for clear producer identity and a useful spread of producers, wine styles and designations. Inclusion is not an editorial score and does not mean these are the region’s best wines.
