Monte Xanic

Proudly Mexican, this brand is well positioned in the Premium market, producing wines of consistent quality.
“Xanic” name is originated from the Cora Indians, that continue to inhabit parts of Nayarit (the state where i was born, soon will talk about it) on México´s Pacific Coast and it means “Flower which blooms after the first rain”

20 years have passed since Monte Xanic started producing wines in a time where many others were closing their doors for the flood of low cost wines and modest quality. This winery took the challenge and yes they really took it to the next level!!

Tequila Grillos has ALL  the elements that constitute a great Tequila!

It is made with the best Blue Agave Tequilana Weber selection that gives it a great quality, it defines the tradition of making tequila with artisan processes and a very tight care to make it develop its very high quality.

Last year, I visited Casa de Piedra,  the winery of a great Mexican Enologist,  Hugo D´Acosta, situated in The Guadalupe Valley in Baja California, México.

“Great Wine begins in the Vineyard”

I couldn´t agree more with this! specially after visiting this piece of paradise in Oregon, at their acclaimed estate Vineyard, nestled along the west hills of the Hood River Valley, where life becomes infinite views and experiences.

When we speak about the new era of Mexican wines, we immediately evoke José Luis Durand, the Chilean winemaker, settled in the Guadalupe Valley. His passion for the art of making wines and for México are magical combination.His Wines are the “vehicle” that transport us to this magical experience, full of harmonic aromas, textures, colors, they whisper you sweet notes…treasured moments… memories that can last forever.
