Arroyo Seco
Located in the center of Monterey County, the Arroyo Seco AVA boasts one of California's longest growing seasons. Literally translated as"Dry Creek," the Arroyo Seco canyon was created years ago by the Arroyo River. Today, alluvial, gravelly and sandy loam soils coupled with the cool breezes from the Montery Bay offer ideal, cool-climate growing conditions. Subsequently, grapes from Arroyo Seco experience an extended hangtime.
