Corona del Valle 2021 Mezcla de Tintos

Discover the rich history and vibrant flavors of Mexican winemaking with the Corona del Valle 2021 Mezcla de Tintos. This compelling red blend, crafted from organically and sustainably farmed vineyards in the esteemed Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, showcases the exciting potential of Mexican viticulture.

Tasting Notes:

This captivating blend of Tempranillo, Merlot, Malbec, and Grenache offers a complex and inviting profile:

• Nose: Unwind layers of enticing aromas, including notes of rich cacao, bright strawberry, juicy plum, succulent blackberry, and sweet Bing cherry. Subtle undertones of earthy gravel, intriguing licorice, and a hint of warm vanilla add depth and complexity.
• Palate: The palate is characterized by a balanced structure, featuring medium acidity, moderate alcohol, and well-integrated tannins, resulting in a wine with impressive length, complexity, and intensity. The flavors echo the nose, creating a harmonious and satisfying experience.
• Food Pairing: This versatile Mezcla de Tintos possesses the structure and intensity to complement strongly flavored dishes. It pairs beautifully with grilled pork tenderloin, roasted chicken, or, for a true taste of the region, authentic carnitas tacos.

A Legacy Reimagined:

Mexico is the first country in the Americas to have cultivated wine grapes, dating back to 1521. Despite periods of prohibition and challenges, the wine industry has steadily rebuilt, particularly in the Valle de Guadalupe. This northeast-running valley benefits from the cooling Pacific influence and boasts alluvial and limestone soils, ideal for producing quality fruit.

Corona del Valle, established in 2009 by Hector Corona, embraces organic and sustainable farming practices. This commitment to the land, combined with Jac Cole’s expertise in winemaking, yields wines of exceptional purity and character, reflecting the exciting resurgence of Mexican wine.
