The wine region of Mesilla Valley
Transborder AVA of the American south-west (New Mexico and Texas, Rio Grande valley around Las Cruces and El Paso), hot desert climate with river breezes and well-drained sandy soils. Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah are flagship reds — full-bodied and solar with intense notes of black cherry, blackberry, prune, spices and a refined balsamic-desert character, round tannins. Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Tempranillo as aromatic whites. Pioneer US south-west.
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.
