Climate
The climate depends on the altitude. In a radius of 60 km around the town of Orange, the climate can vary from very hot to quite cold in the mountain area near Mount Conobolas. The high ultraviolet radiation helps the ripening process well. The wind can be both friend and foe by helping to chase away night frosts, but it also negatively affects the weaker varieties of wine.
