cool climate
Brisk seasonal conditions
Cool climate describes a region with moderate to low temperatures, typically averaging below 60°F during growing seasons.
The term appears most often in viticulture, where cool-climate wines come from grapes that ripen slowly, developing higher acidity and more delicate flavors: Pinot noir thrives in cool climates like Burgundy and Oregon.
The phrase also applies broadly to geography and agriculture.
