Features

edit

The Cerros de San Juan region features sunny summers with cool nights, creating a wide variation in temperatures (up to 18°C). The suitability of the soils for wine growing in the Cerros de San Juan region is due to the rocky nature of the mountains which border the region, with excellent drainage.[citation needed] The red and white grapes grow in pebbly soils.
