The appellation is the second largest American Viticultural Area in Texas, and covers an area of over. Most of the vineyards are on flat terrain at elevations between and above sea level. The Texas plains can be extremely dry, so most vineyards are irrigated with water from the Ogallala Aquifer. The hardiness zones are 7a and 7b.
