*Wine Pairings by Viñas de Garza (Valle de Guadalupe)*
Viñas de Garza had it's first activities in 2003, with the knowledge that small wineries in Mexico can produce wines of the highest quality and compete with large, offering consumers a personal and unique touch of boutique wines with quality production of premium wines of Mexico. The first vinification took place until 2006, long enough to develop the vineyards and own infrastructure for a complete and quality controlled production time.
The personal and unique touch of boutique wines with production quality Premium wines of Mexico.
The draft family origin, created by the owners Amado and Ana Garza, has always stood out for his personal attention to the breeding and care of the grape; even today, the selection and vinification of it is held by the owners closely and thoroughly; a labor of day that only a life project could sue.
He currently has 9 hectares of vineyards in production and 5 in development; within the first varietals harvested include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, but the search for new blends and flavors has attracted interest for planting new varieties: Tempranillo, Grenache, Zinfandel, Carignan, Nebbiolo, Montepulciano, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Petit Syrah , Sauvignon Blanc and Moscato Canelli.
In 2006 Amado IV and the Mogorcito Tinto were the first results of all the effort put into the project. Today the winery has 10 different labels that are the result of passion and taste of the Garza family for the art of making good wine.
