A MEDITERRANEAN PARADISEThe coastal areas of Southern California are often called a Mediterranean Paradise. The cool foggy mornings, moderate to wet winters, long dry summer months often cooled by onshore breezes are characteristic of a Mediterranean climate. This provides a unique wine region with a long growing season with moderate to warm temperatures. It’s no wonder that coastal farmers have been growing wine grapes here since the early 1800’s.It’s long been known that viticulture and winemaking first flourished on a large scale due to the influence of the Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans along the Mediterranean coast. Grapevines thrive in temperate climates that provide the vines long, warm periods during the crucial flowering, fruit set and ripening periods. The flavor or the Mediterranean has no border, only the limits of a dream. Villa Oneiro truly is a dream come true. |
