The Art of Potosí High-Altitude Wine
The boutique winery Pozo de Luna has established itself as a benchmark of excellence within the Mexican red and white wine industry. Located in the municipality of Soledad de Graciano Sánchez, in the state of San Luis Potosí, this winery takes advantage of the privileged conditions of the Potosí highlands — more than 1,800 meters above sea level — to produce estate wines with a unique personality and artisanal rigor.
At La Cava Shop, we select Pozo de Luna labels for their refined acidity, well-integrated tannic structure, and prestigious recognition in international competitions endorsed by the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.
Pillars of Pozo de Luna Terroir
01 — High-Altitude Viticulture
At 1,870 meters of altitude, intense solar radiation and the marked thermal amplitude between day and night favor slow aromatic maturation and the preservation of natural acidity in grapes such as Syrah, Merlot, and Nebbiolo.
02 — Semi-Arid and Mineral Soils
The deep alluvial soils of the San Luis Potosí basin give the wines a balanced concentration and distinctive mineral notes, frequently praised in specialized publications such as Wine Enthusiast.
03 — Meticulous Aging
The conscious use of French and American oak barrels complements the fruit without overshadowing it, ensuring long-lived wines with aging potential of 5 to 10 years.
