The rich diversity of landscapesand climates provide a wide range of con-ditions needed to produce an excitingarray of grape varieties. The cooler valleysallow varietals such as pinot noir, pinotgris, and Riesling to flourish while thewarmer valleys include merlot, cabernet,syrah, tempranillo, and Grenache.
