Viñas Pijoan started as a hobby, a desire to make wine and share it with family and friends, but Pau Pijoan, a Catalan  settled in México,  made a hit with his hobby and had no choice than to keep it going and growing!!!

I visited this winery a little while ago and i was very well impressed, not only for the quality of the wines, but also for the personality of Pau, the owner and winemaker. But most of all, i was impressed to see the love of this man for his family and his wines; such love that as a tribute to the women of his family, each wine have their names.

Hugo D´Acosta, one of the star winemakers of Ensenada started Paralelo Winery thinking on the people that wanted to make it´s own wine.

It was born as a property/partnership project that allowed people to participate directly in the wine industry and experiment what it is to be part of it.

The name Paralelo is used because it´s a Parallel project to Casa de Piedra, the other winery from Hugo D´Acosta; it uses the same varietals, the same assemblage, but at the same time it´s completely different. What makes it different? The essence of the valley, each peace of land transmits to the wine it´s own characteristics: the terroir.

Now Paralelo belongs to a group of enthusiastic ambassadors of the Mexican Wines.

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.
