What is cool climate wine?
The term is still indefinite.
For the sake of CCWA competition we accept all the wines produced in EU climate zones A and B plus Switzerland, and will be happy to welcome wines from all other wine regions, subregions or districts that may prove to fulfill at least one of the following demands:
- less than 2650 GDD in ⁰F units (15 April-15 October NH)
If you're there,
don't check your GDD
