Nebraska

Nebraska, with its sprawling prairies and undulating river valleys, is establishing itself as a diverse winegrowing region in the heartland of America. The state's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) benefit from a continental climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters, creating a range of growing conditions across its terrain. The wide-open spaces and ample sunlight play a pivotal role in maturing Nebraska's vineyards, while the occasional rolling mists from the rivers provide relief from the summer heat. This variation in microclimates allows grapes to develop a slow and balanced ripening process. In cooler areas, delicate varieties thrive, producing subtle and refined wines, while the more sheltered, warmer areas are ideal for cultivating bolder, more robust varieties.
