At 1,148 feet, Tuskin Wine Yard Pogio El Vento is named for “Wind Hill” – which helps to maintain freshness in the grapes, which Colonel D. Archia Brunelo The Montalicino Raswarus goes to Pagio El Vento. The influence of growing at height cannot be ignored. “The height plays a key role in forming the role of our grapes,” says Santiago Marvin Senzano, a 10th -generation liquor maker in Colonel D. “It allows grapes to produce more complex aroma, maintain acidity and achieve better balance.”

Although alcohol makers and journalists alike printed terms such as “Mountain Fruit” and “Valley Floor Grape”, the effects of height on alcohol are not always clear. But if you understand the effects of height, it can help you guide the bottles you enjoy, as the temperature, sunlight intensity, and the difference in clay drains affect grapes and manufactured products. The most obvious contrast temperature is when we get up in height. As anyone who is hiking or familiar with it, the higher the temperature you climb, the higher the temperature. The average reduction in temperature every 100 meters (328 feet) in height is 0.65 degrees Celsius, which is 1.17 degrees Fahrenheit. It does not look too except when we look at the streams that can be at a height of a thousand meters above sea level, which will offer an average temperature daily, which is about 12 degrees less than on the floor of the valley. In addition, the mountain -producing tectonic plates have caused variations in the formation of soil, which greatly affects the growing situation and creates the alcohol we drink.

In the Winemaker Christina Sheller, right north of the Heldesburg, there is a lot of change to play in the Estonist State in Alexander Valley Ava in Sonoma. With state -of -the -art turns, from 400 to 2,400 feet, she makes several different single wine yard coughing swagenon. One, beer point Wine Yard Cabrnett Swagenon, comes from the bulls located 800 feet above sea level, and second, Christopher’s grape cabinets, with which he works, comes at 2,400 feet. She says, “The lonely tanns in Christopher make a statement, which has a wide and severe structure that will allow alcohol to be taken for decades,” while the bear’s point is “structured and prepared” but does not offer the same concentration. There are many factors playing here, including the mood of the day, which is six to eight degrees Celsius than the low height, which can destroy or severely limit the crop in extremely hot, dry weather.

One of the most important phenomena of height Sonoma is the upside layer, which is a fog blanket that rotates between 800 and 1,800 feet during many mornings of the weather. The Estonist State has stored in this cold area, where fog restricts sunlight and helps maintain acidity, while the cervical swagan on high slopes receives sunlight three to four hours a day, which helps to complete the grapes. Thick thick skins increase the body and weights, while the high -ten’s proportion of the cabinets helps the long -term collectively collectively.

One of the most growing regions in Europe is Spain’s Rabira del Dero, sitting on the high ground, with the height of the garden more than 2,362 feet to 3,280. Locals such as Domino de Atota Winemaker Jim Sorez called Tempearelo Tinto feno (Fine red) or Tint Dell Pace – Working with 138 acres of grapes of 130- to 190 years old, which was applied between 3,050 and 3,280 feet, Suries made five single wine yard wine from various plots inside the state, along with Domino de Atwata Rabira del Dero Red. Suries says the temperature can ruthlessly swing between day and night, which is 86 degrees Fahrenheit while the sun is shining and then falls to 45 or 39 degrees when falling into the dark.

In the north is located between two mountain ranges. “Cold temperatures at night and this wind make the Atua Dah’s turn a privileged fibrous resource,” says Surya. This means that the turning point is less sensitive to the insects that call around the world. He says, “In the last 16 years, we just had to get a cure for Donipado and no one for Botritis.” He later harvested in his grapes compared to many of his neighbors while preserving the acidic level. He explained, “Our alcohol represents the refreshment that provides height and offers the region’s less powerful, fresh, subtle, and more beautiful version of the region’s temple.”

In the Salta of Argentina, there is a home for some of the world’s high streams, including the turn of Bodiga Kolomi’s Altora Maxima Dah, which is 10,200 feet above sea level – which is the most doubled grape in the country’s famous Mandoza region. The wine maker tells Theboust Delmotti Rob reports Here, too, the risk of the disease does not exist almost due to extremely low rainfall – which is only four inches every year – so it can apply minimal copper and sulfur treatment to prevent any fungal risks. He said, at this height, the risk of spring frosts increases, so he uses sprayers for protection, while more likely to install the safety nets due to more cloud accumulation.

Here is a large environmental difference in ozone, which translates to high levels of ultra -violet radiation. “To protect yourself, the Grapes, prepare deep skins, which results in severe colors and a strong tank structure,” says Delmot. In addition to moderate spring and summer temperatures and “extraordinary differences” between day and night conditions, it attributes the poor of the grape garden to the layered complications of the Altra Mexa Melback, which is famous for its freshness, minerals, full body and firm tank spinal cord.

Returning to the sea level, Eric Tights – owner of tights wine yards in St. Helena Ava, Napa – is connected to the Napa River border with the Cabinet Swagenon on a part of the valley floor. With more days of time than Napa’s mountainous locations, tights relies on a daily afternoon winds that come to the valley to provide a cool effect to prevent maximum supply. Describing its tights grape gardens state canabrinate as a “big, rich body red”, which is “structural but fruits to move forward,” he says it is accessible to young people but will be good.

Although many wine makers around the world are looking for high spots to reduce the effects of a hot planet, others have chosen to plant fully on the tops of the mountains to make the best wine possible. Sanzano says that when his grandfather first applied the Pagyo El Vento Wine Yard in 1980, Brunelo The Montalino had not yet achieved his reputation, while at the same time the taste of consumers attracted to alcohol, which emphasized on the ripe fruits and oak. He says, “Choosing dust and height that will give Singovos beauty and refreshment, at that time, there was a gambling.” Over five decades-to-change and the lighter, more balanced manner of consumer wine and the overall change in the face-it is clear that this is a well bet.
