mesoclimate
The discrete climatic conditions of a specific localized area, usually measured in terms of tens of yards, sometimes hundreds of yards if there is a consistent set of traits for a larger area. Mesoclimate falls between the larger MACROCLIMATE and the smaller MICROCLIMATE. It's often used to refer to a specific vineyard site or portion of a site that is unique.
