What the producer is held to

Claimed — the producer’s own word for it

natural

A certification is a standard a third party checks against; a practice is a description the producer applies to itself. The difference is the whole argument. What the words mean.

No tasting note. This catalogue records what a bottle has been held to, not what we thought of the glass — the notes are in the book.

The same style first, then the same colour, then the same country. A shared certification is not a family resemblance, so it is not a reason to turn up here.
