Region:

Arizona

Arizona is an emerging and diverse winegrowing region in the southwestern United States. Spanning high desert plateaus and rugged mountains, Arizona's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) showcase a wide array of terroir. The high elevation and arid climate play a major role in shaping Arizona's vineyards, with cool nights and warm days allowing grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The diverse soils, ranging from volcanic to sandy loam, contribute to the unique character of Arizona's wines. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the higher elevations, while further down, richer, bolder wines are produced. Arizona's growing wine industry is gaining recognition for its distinctive and high-quality wines that reflect the unique environmental conditions of the region.
