Region:

Valencia

Valencia, located on Spain's sunny eastern coast, is one of the country's most diverse winegrowing regions. Spanning from the Mediterranean coast to the inland mountains, Valencia's vineyards cover a wide array of terroir. The cool, deep waters of the Mediterranean Sea play a major role in moderating Valencia's climate, sending refreshing sea breezes up to 50 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Coastal vineyards thrive with cooler-climate grape varieties, producing crisp and aromatic whites, while further inland, the warmer, sun-soaked valleys yield bigger, bolder reds. This diversity of conditions allows Valencia to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflecting the unique growing regions of this vibrant area.
