enólogico

English translation: Wine

14:19 Jul 19, 2014
Spanish to English translations [Non-PRO]
Marketing - Tourism & Travel / Winery promotional literature
Spanish term or phrase: enólogico
The sentence is a headline for the winery's promotional literature and says simply: Mención “Mejor Establecimiento Enólogico” 2011

Oenological is a word, but I feel it is rather technical, especially in the context of promotional literature. I've been unable to find the body behind the award or any existing translation for the award itself.

What do others think, please?

Many thanks

Explanation:
Wikipedia's definition is broad enough:

A winery is a building or property that produces wine, or a business involved in the production of wine, such as a wine company.[1] Some wine companies own many wineries. Besides wine making equipment, larger wineries may also feature warehouses, bottling lines, laboratories, and large expanses of tanks known as tank farms. The oldest winery in the world found to date is a 6,000 year old winery in the Areni region of Armenia,[2] which is still a wine making region today.[3]

Reference: Best Wine Establishment

Reference information:
This is a prize awarded by Acevin (Asociación Española de Ciudades del Vino).
http://www.acevin.es/

Here's a truly dreadful page (probably machine translated) on these prizes. They call this one "Award for the best oenological establishment", but the important information follows in parentheses: "(Winery, Museum of wine, etc.)". So it's not just for wineries, and you can't call it "best winery".

"Best Wine Establishment" is what they call it here:

"Acevin announced the winners of the 1st Edition of the ‘Rutas del Vino de España’ Wine Tourism Awards [...]
The winners were the González Byass bodega group, which won the ‘Best Wine Establishment Award’, and the Villa de Laguardia Wine Oil Spa Hotel, located in the Rioja Alavesa region, recognised with the ‘Best Tourism Establishment Award’, while the ‘Innovation, Quality and Sustainable Development Award’ went to the Palacio de Canedo tourism complex, in El Bierzo, and the ‘Socially Responsible Wine Tourism Region Award’ was won by the ‘Grupo de Acción Local de la Zona Media de Navarra’, representing Navarra Wine Routes. [...]"
http://www.winesfromspain.es/icex/cda/controller/pageGen/0,3...

And the Jumilla wine route calls it that here (English on this page also dodgy):

agree  James A. Walsh: Yes, "Best Wine Establishment" all the way ;)
4 hrs
  -> Thanks, James ;)
agree  neilmac: Yes, I support the use of "establishment" too.
16 hrs
  -> Thanks, Neil ;) I tend to avoid "establishment" for "establecimiento", but it's hard to think of another word that fits well here.
