Wines of the Americas
The New World Mosaic
"A journey from north to south through the audacity of American terroirs, where the power of nature and technical precision create monumental wines."
The Vanguard of Global Viticulture
American wine is the epitome of freedom and oenological innovation. Unlike the rigid traditional regulations of the Old World, viticulture in the Americas has thrived thanks to constant experimentation and the tireless pursuit of the identity of each terroir. According to reports from the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), the region has redefined global quality standards through deep research into soils, extreme altitudes, and coastal microclimates.
This premium selection celebrates the astonishing adaptability of the vine on the continent. From the breezes of the Pacific Ocean to the imposing Andes mountain range, precision technology joins forces with natural climatic influence. The result is wines that stand out for their great fruit richness, mineral freshness, and a polished tannic structure that defines the standard for contemporary wine, as recognized by the Guild of Sommeliers.

Geography of Taste: Terroirs of the Continent
North America and Mexico
United States: A global reference for opulence and structure with the iconic Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley and Sonoma, as well as the refined elegance of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Oregon's Willamette Valley and the expressive power of Washington's Columbia Valley.
Mexico: The indomitable character of valleys such as the Guadalupe Valley, San Vicente, Parras, and Guanajuato, promoted by the Mexican Wine Council, offers robust labels of Nebbiolo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah with a distinctive saline-mineral note resulting from ancient soils, scarce humidity, and Pacific sea winds.
South America
Argentina: The mastery of high-altitude Malbec in Mendoza, Luján de Cuyo, and the Uco Valley, backed by Wines of Argentina, stands out for its deep violet color, silky tannins, notes of fresh plum, and unparalleled freshness derived from the Andean temperature range.
Chile: Cradle of the resurgent Carmenère grape and the great Cabernet Sauvignon from legendary terroirs such as the Maipo, Colchagua, and Cachapoal Valleys. Under the technical standards of Wines of Chile, their wines achieve the perfect balance between peppery notes, red fruit, and an electric acidity coming from ocean breezes.
Collector's Queries
What is the best time to enjoy a New World red?
Many American wines are expressive and enjoyable from a young age thanks to the ripeness of their fruit and the polished barrel work. However, for collectors interested in cellaring guides, specialized publications by Decanter recommend between 5 and 20 years of aging for the great Cabernet Sauvignons of California, Mexican Nebbiolos, or Malbecs from micro-terroirs like Paraje Altamira and Gualtallary.
Regional Pairing Suggestions
For the power and tannic structure of wines from Napa or the Guadalupe Valley, choose premium cuts of meat with pronounced marbling (Ribeye, New York) or spiced dishes from Mexican gastronomy. For the juiciness and velvety texture of Andean Malbec, the ideal pairing is a traditional charcoal-grilled asado. You can delve deeper into the principles of pairing and sommellerie at Wine Folly.
