The wine region of Mimbres Valley

Largest AVA in New Mexico (1985), southwest of the state, vineyards between 1,200 and 2,000 m, desert climate with extremes close to Mendoza. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are signature bold reds with intense blackcurrant, blackberry, plum and peppery-spiced notes, firm tannins and brilliant fruit. Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Dolcetto and Zinfandel complement Mediterranean style. Opulent Chardonnay in white.

The wine region of New Mexico

Wine state of the American Southwest, the oldest in the USA (vines from 1629). World specialty: signature traditional-method sparklings (pioneer house Gruet) with signature notes of green apple, brioche, citrus, white flowers and a hazelnut touch, fine taut bubbles. Also sun-drenched high-altitude reds: dense Cabernet Sauvignon (cassis, cedar), jammy Zinfandel, spicy peppery Syrah. High-altitude desert vineyards with strong diurnal swings.
