The Applegate Valley AVA in Southern Oregon is a sub-region of the Rogue Valley AVA, known for its Mediterranean-like climate, granite-rich soils, and high elevation (1,000–2,000 feet). With hot days and cool nights, the valley produces bold reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot, along with expressive whites such as Viognier and Albariño. Its well-draining soils and low rainfall during the growing season result in concentrated, flavorful wines. The region’s diverse microclimates allow for a variety of grapes to thrive, making it a standout destination for high-quality, artisan winemaking.
