5 Interesting Facts About Mexican Wine  

Tequila is usually—and understandably—what comes to mind when you think about drinks and Mexico. But the colorful nation also produces some really outstanding wine. However, it is not as popular as French, Spanish, or Italian varietals. Here are five facts about Mexican wine that you probably did not know.  

Less Regulation Equals More Variety  

Mexican wines are subject to less limitations. However, this implies that the area is a mashup of grapes, styles, and blends. Whereas, no other place in the world offers producers and winemakers the same freedom to experiment with various wine genres without suffering consequences for their bottle labels. Moreover, in Mexican wine regions, a variety of wines can be produced, including white wines derived from Grenache Noir, Sauvignon Blanc-Chardonnay blends, and even Cabernet-Nebbiolo blends, which are unheard of anywhere in the world. Amazingly, they can still carry the region's label (this would not occur in areas with tight regulations around the world).  

Blends are Preferable  

Because different grapes convey the characteristics of the region differently, blended reds generally perform better than single varietals.  

There is a Mexican Napa Valley  

Guadalupe Valley is like Mexico's Napa Valley. However, the Guadalupe Valley accounts for more than 50% of Mexican wine output, while Napa Valley accounts for barely 2% of Californian wine. This valley, which has the ideal weather for both red and white grapes, continues to push its boundaries every year, and the wines get better as a result of a larger national market and more experienced winemakers. Furthermore, visitors from around the world come to the Ensenada Wine Trail to sample the finest wines produced in the nation.  

Mexican Wine Is More Mature  

Mexican Wine is very mature compared to most world regions. Therefore, this means that you will rarely want to keep a bottle for longer than four or five years.”  

As one of the best grapes, Tempranillo  

"Due to the cultural legacies left by the domination of Spain during colonial times, Spanish grapes are frequently used in Mexico. They cultivate Italian and French varieties as well as some of the most expensive and sought-after wines in the world. While, in particular, Tempranillo creates fine, robust wines that may age for a long time if the conditions are correct. Furthermore, these wines strangely combine well with oak barrels. In addition, it is regarded as one of Mexico's greatest grapes for making wine, along with the native Nebbiolo. However, Syrah and Grenache as the better grapes for Guadalupe Valley wine production because these two kinds are more suited for the temperature in Mexico.
