Look to Bordeaux... :-)

On the other hand - wines from very hot climates get overripe and low-acid -
and usually make poor candidates for long term development, I think.

But there are many more parameters to wine making than just climate, of
course :-),
as proven by the Michigan specimens according to Bill and by many other
wines from hot or cold areas.
