Punto Norte
Coahuila's Wine Essence
"Temperance, sun, and altitude: The most sophisticated interpretation of the Mexican semi-desert, where the land of Coahuila forges wines of imposing structure."
Wines Forged in the Desert
Punto Norte represents the rebirth of viticulture in Coahuila, a region recognized by the Mexican Wine Council as the cradle of wine in America. Situated in a semi-desert environment, the vines face extreme conditions that concentrate sugars and polyphenols.
The secret to their elegance lies in thermal oscillation. As detailed in the SIAP climate guides, the altitude of Coahuila's wine regions allows for cool nights that preserve acidity. These wines reflect the character of a calcareous terroir that has positioned Mexico in competitions such as the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.
