Ozark Mountain is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the US Midwest. It is spread across 3.5 million acres (1.4 million hectares) of elevated terrain, and while the bulk lies in Missouri and Arkansas, a small portion extends westward into Oklahoma, the boundary not quite reaching the city of Tulsa.
The Ozark Mountain terroir is too varied to be efficiently described in any detail, but overall the climate is continental (with significant influence from the AVA's hillsides and rivers), and the soils range from sandstone and loam through to limestone and clay.
Cold-hardy hybrid grape varieties do best in Ozark Mountain, and Edelweiss, Ravat Vignoles and Chardonel make up a significant portion of the area's plantings.
