    No. In general, if something cannot be understood, it cannot be rephrased to make it mean what it's supposed to, because nobody knows what it's supposed to mean.
    In cases like this, you need to go to the source and obtain a correct quote or paraphrase from the original author.

    I can't think of anything that sounds like town, but a single-village growth would make perfect sense.

    Wines produced from a named village - or even a single vineyard - are usually superior to those bearing the regional appellation.

    For example, Fleurie, from the village of that name, is a classy example of Beaujolais.

    What happens is that individual vintners, in years when their own wine is of insufficient quantity or quality to be bottled and sold under its own label, send their wine to the local co-operative to be blended with that of other growers and sold under the regional name.

    make it simpler, please.

    So Gigondas is a village in the town of Cote du Rhone? Or what??

    Gigondas is a village in the department of Vaucluse, in the wine growing region called Cotes du Rhone, which is in the valley of the river Rhone in south eastern France.

    It's clearly a mistake.

    I suggest you translate it as ...it's from a single village... or ...it's a bottle from a single village...

    Ok. Could it be a bottle from more than one village? Any type of wine is obviously from a certain single village.

    Well, no, as the others have stated, a wine isn't necessarily from a certain single village. Grapes from many different villages and vineyards can be mixed together to make wine. It may be bottled in one village but that doesn't mean the grapes all came from the same place.
