Climate, Wind & Geography
How the land, sea, and sky converge to shape Santa Lucia Highlands.
[TODO: Replace with finalized intro tying the three elements — climate, wind, geography — together as a single terroir story.]
The Climate
[TODO: Paste the one-paragraph climate copy from the existing /the-appellation/climate/ page here. Covers cool mornings, long growing season, diurnal swings.]
The Wind
[TODO: Paste the wind copy from /the-appellation/sun-wind-and-wine/ here. Covers afternoon Pacific winds funneling down the Salinas Valley and their effect on canopy and ripening.]
The Geography
[TODO: Paste the geography copy from /the-appellation/the-region/ here. Covers the east-facing benchland of the Santa Lucia Range, decomposed granite soils, and elevation range.]
