Willcox Wine Facts
What makes Willcox well-suited for wine grape growing?
1. ELEVATION & CLIMATE
At an average of 4,200 ft in elevation, our grapes enjoy warm, sunny days allowing them to fully ripen but cool off considerably at night which preserves natural acidity. These large diurnal temperature swings allows us to grow grapes that are full-flavored with balanced freshness.
2. SOIL
Our rich alluvial and volcanic soils are eroded from the surrounding mountains and allow for excellent drainage — a necessity for grape vines that don’t like to have wet feet.
