The Sierra Pelona Valley AVA is an American Viticultural Area in a valley of the Sierra Pelona Mountains, located in northwestern Los Angeles County, California.
The valley is a part of the High Desert region on the southwestern edge of the Antelope Valley and Mojave Desert. The AVA is northwest of Metropolitan Los Angeles in Southern California.
The Sierra Pelona Valley features a diurnal temperature variation of 40 to 50 °F, and annual rainfall of less than 12inches, most of which is concentrated in the winter. Additionally, air movement along the valley helps to reduce the risk of frost, leaf fungus, and insect pests.
The soil is primarily alluvial, well-drained, and up to 60inches deep. The appellation's altitude ranges from 2400feet to 3400feet above sea level.
