Wines from Coahuila
The Legacy of the Land of the Sun
"History, altitude, and mastery: The birthplace of wine in America that today leads Mexico's viticultural excellence with world-class labels"
Where History Meets Terroir
Wines from Coahuila represent the historical heart of viticulture on the American continent. From the oasis of Parras de la Fuente (recognized as a Magical Town), founded over four centuries ago, to the alpine freshness of the Arteaga Valley, this state offers a mosaic of unique microclimates.
According to data from the Mexican Wine Council, the region's altitude and thermal oscillation allow for grapes with exceptional concentration. This tradition dates back to 1597 with the founding of Casa Madero, the oldest operating winery in the entire hemisphere.
