Get to Know Sonoita, Arizona’s First and Largest AVA
The Arizona sun beats down on Sonoita, its powerful rays crossing the short distance to the small collection of vineyards about 45 minutes from Tucson. Arizona’s first and largest AVA hugs its southern border in high-altitude grasslands, surrounded by stunning natural beauty and four soaring mountain ranges. Los Milics Vineyards founder and winemaker Pavle Milić describes growing grapes in the sandy loam, limestone and caliche “like planting on the moon.” Despite—and sometimes because of—the intense sunshine, wild winds and summer monsoons, Sonoita produces wine as exciting as its weather: dense, minerally, beguilingly complex.
