Which of the following is a large Wine of Origin Geographical Unit in South Africa?

• A. Ontario
• B. Napa Valley
• C. Western Cape
• D. Barossa Valley

Answer: (C)

In South Africa, the Wine of Origin system uses Geographical Units as the broadest regional labels, and the large Geographical Unit refers to the main wine-producing region. Western Cape fits this role as the principal large unit that encompasses much of SA’s grape growing and winemaking. The other options aren’t South African large units—they’re regions in Canada, the United States, and Australia—so they don’t qualify as a South African large WO Geographical Unit.
