The state of Nevada isn’t about to let scorching heat and desert climates stop it from producing fantastic wines. Sure, it may limit the types of grapes that can be grown, but Nevada winemakers make the best of what their beloved state will allow. The types of grapes that are able to grow and prosper in Nevada’s harsh climate are Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Merlot, Riesling, Roussillon, Semillon and Zinfandel. There are currently only three wineries in the entire state, ensuring quality over quantity when it comes to the incredible wines that Nevada has to offer.
