Mountain Grown Grapes Produce Better Wines

To the wine aficionado there is nothing quite like a fine wine grown from one of the mountainous regions from around the world. Wines such as a Cabernet grown on the steep slopes of mountains are renowned for their intense flavor that is sure to please those who use them in their Cabernet Wine Decanter.

What makes these wines so special is the less than ideal conditions that they grow in, but at the same time this is what makes them unique. On the steep slopes that have the right soil, sun and other factors the drainage of water encourages grapes to reproduce. This extra effort for reproduction will result in a higher quality grape.

Of course those who taste these wines often wonder why there are not more mountain  based vineyards producing these fine wines. But all of the conditions must be met and there is of course risk of adverse weather that can highly affect the crop each and every year. This high risk and high reward style of grape production is not one that many are willing to take on even if the space was available for them to do so.
