What are the strengths of the Temecula Valley Wine Region?
A. The climate, though very changeable, is moderate by most measures. That is good for many winegrape varieties. The loose, granitic soils are not highly fertile and are low in water holding capacity. Those characteristics are highly sought after in the wine world, since they naturally limit the vine to low crop yields, balanced fruit and leaf ratios on the vine, and achieve ripeness easily in most years.
