Spanish term

corte atlántico

Spanish to English Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture Wines
This refers to Somantano wines of Denominación de Origen (which I am translating as "Denomination of Origin", but welcome comments on whether that is right). The whole sentence is "Destacan los cabernets y merlots de crianza por su corte atlántico".
Many thanks.
And happy Christmas!

I agree with nedra, but would explain, in brackets, on the first mention (guarantee of origin and quality). Seasons Greetings!
Nedra Rivera Huntington Dec 26, 2006:
I would not translate "denominación de origen" any more than I would "appellation contrôlée" from the French. http://www.epicurious.com/drinking/wine_dictionary/entry?id=... / http://www.epicurious.com/drinking/wine_dictionary/entry?id=...

Atlantic flavored; Atlantic influenced wines

n cooler climes, including the Bordeaux region in France and Long Island’s North Fork and The Hamptons, the grapes see more rain and cooler temperatures. As such, these grapes are less “baked” at
harvest and result in wines that are more restrained. In fact, Bordeaux and Long Island share similar geographic characteristics including climate and the influence of several bodies of water (Atlantic Ocean, Gironde and Garonne Rivers vs. Atlantic Ocean, Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay). These wines have finesse and an elegance frequently lacking in their warm-climate cousins.
