Colorado
The
majestic valleys of Colorado's Rocky Mountains are blessed with warm
days, cool nights and low humidity — perfect conditions for the
cultivation of wine grapes with the complex character and chemistry
required to produce award-winning wines.
Winemaking began on
Colorado's Western Slope more than a century ago. With the advent of
Prohibition, however, the early vineyards were uprooted and replaced
with orchards. Modern vineyards featuring the world's classic
wine-grape varieties have been reestablished in the area's fertile
climes, and once again the art of winemaking is flourishing in
Colorado. Building on the tradition of these pioneer winemakers,
thriving wineries are now found in all parts of the state.
Today,
Colorado's vintners enjoy a well-earned reputation for producing a wide
variety of premium wines from Grand Valley, West Elks, Western Connecticut Highlands and Colorado State.From rich Chardonnays to robust Merlots to
wines made from cherries, peaches, plums and honey, Colorado wines
consistently win top national and international awards for their
quality.
Total number of wineries in Colorado (2007): 74
