The oldest wine region in the Americas? It's not in California, or Virginia, or even the United States; it's in Santa María de las Parras, equidistant from Durango to the west and Monterey to the east. That's Mexico, friends. Now, 400 years after Mexican winemaking was first commercially established, small family producers are pushing back against large-scale commercial production and instead turning their focus to regenerative farming, small yields, and varietally expressive winemaking. Daniel Erasmo Kelly Torres of Fractura Winery, and Catalonia-born, Mexico-raised Pau Pijoan of Vinos Pijoan are at the forefront of that movement. Minimal intervention, vibrantly composed, and downright delicious, these are wildly exciting wines that suggest a bright future for North America's oldest (and most forgotten) wine region.
