It is in a neighboring state of Baja California, and more precisely in the Guadalupe Valley, that most Mexican wine is produced today. With its very dry, almost Mediterranean-type climate, this region lends itself admirably to wine-growing. There are two trends in the region. On the one hand, a group of three massive producers with large market shares: L.A. Cetto, Santo Tomas and Monte Xanic, which you will find in most of the country's supermarkets and which export rather well to the whole American continent. And opposite, dozens of small producers who rely on inventiveness and local color to make their mark.
The most present grape varieties in Mexico remain the international varieties: Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Syrah for red wines. But there are also a number of lesser-known varieties, some of which originate in Europe, such as the Spanish Palomino and the Italian Nebbiolo, and other characteristics of American viticulture, such as Zinfandel.
