Winemaker Notes
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
A perfect example of quality at high elevation—with an otherwise extremely hot and dry climate—Arizona’s best wines come from vineyards at 4,000 to 5,000 feet. At these elevations, large diurnal temperature shifts allow grapes to fully ripen while retaining good acidity levels.
The state produces impressive Syrah and Zinfandel as well as some noteworthy whites.
