Limited Edition Wines
Signature Pairings with Mexican Food
"Limited-production and collector labels to accompany the spices, textures and heat of Mexican cuisine."
Limited Editions and Mexican Cuisine
Mexican cuisine is complex: dried chiles, spices, smoke, cacao, fruit and fat. This collection brings together limited-edition wines and collector bottles that pair with it, with the structure to hold up intense marinades and the acidity needed to refresh the palate. Shop with free shipping from $1,499 MXN, storage in climate-controlled cellars and 90 days for free returns.

What You'll Find in This Collection
Exclusivity and Small Productions
Short-run labels, single vineyards or collector presentations, for those looking for something different who want to gift or open a special bottle.
Structure Against Heat
We prioritize wines with polished tannins and good freshness. A very tannic, high-alcohol red tends to clash with chile; a balanced one does not. Also see the rosé wines and sparkling wines for spicy dishes.
Guide to Mexican Pairings
Mole poblano and Syrah reserva: the cocoa and pepper notes of the Syrah grape blend with the dried chiles and chocolate of the dish.
Cochinita pibil and Garnacha rosé: its acidity cuts the fat of the pork. See the Garnacha wines.
Chiles en nogada and Chardonnay or orange wine: the wine's unctuousness complements the creaminess of the walnut sauce. Discover the Chardonnays and orange wines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should a limited edition be aerated or decanted?
Many of these wines have long agings. Aerating or decanting them lets the secondary and tertiary aromas open up.
How do I pair dishes with a lot of heat?
Look for whites with a touch of residual sugar, rosés or sparkling wines. The cold and the bubbles help calm the burn. In reds, choose soft tannins and low alcohol.
