The standard

A documented root origin states whether a vine stands on its own root or on a rootstock, rather than carrying own-rootedness as a mere label.

Criteria

Growth on its own root is documented, not assumed
The site's resistance to phylloxera is named, such as pure sand
The statement distinguishes own-rooted from replanted nearby
It stays bound to the individual parcel

Distinction

Own-rooted ≠ grafted: the grafted vine carries a foreign rootstock, the own-rooted one does not. Own-rooted ≠ old: the documented root origin says nothing about the vine's age, only about its root.
