The Wine Experience      
Wine in the Valleys         

Have you ever noticed that many of the wines we enjoy come from valleys?   You know like Napa in California , the Willamette in Oregon, Barossa in Australia and so on around the world.   There's a good reason for that.  

Nature's valleys are great places to grow grapes because of the way the weather acts, the sun shines, moisture gathers and soils mingle.   Since valleys are formed from hillsides overlooking flatlands we get all of nature's variety in one place - hilltops where the sun first touches the vines in the morning while fog lies over the valley floor.  

Midday heat on the floor that radiates into cool evenings.   Slopes where topsoil is washed away and vines dig down for moisture.  

Winding rivers and ancient gravel beds covered by blends of soils from those surrounding hills.   Valleys trap the environment into an infinite variety of ecosystems and microclimates...and put a touch of Mother Nature in every grape.
