2022 Vinos Pijoan "El Carbónico", Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico
Ever wondered what natural wine is all about? This vibrant Valle de Guadalupe blend is the perfect place to start: whole-cluster carbonic maceration (the Beaujolais method), hand-harvested and bottled with no fining, no filtration and no added SO2. Young, energetic, neon-bright and maximally gulpable.
Tasting Notes
"Funky and spicy from the Syrah, fruity from the Grenache and hit with a distinct herbaceousness from the Tempranillo. It carries that classic Valle salinity that makes it incredibly food-friendly. Pair with street tacos, grilled octopus or spicy chorizo." — Harvest Wine Shop

About Vinos Pijoan
We are a small family business born in 2002, at the beginning of the Mexican wine boom, dedicated to making authentic wines with heart and integrity.
Vinos Pijoan was born from the hand of Pau Pijoan, a Mexican of Catalan origin, a veterinary researcher by profession, who embarked on an adventure that would completely change his path.
Without boasting of being an oenologist, his long career as a scientist laid the foundations for a disciplined and methodical study in the art of making wine.
The great advantage of a family winery is expressed in the importance of the different voices that speak through the wine, which beyond representing a product, represent a dialogue. Wine is another member of our family, a form of expression for each voice involved, where the result of the fruit and hand of the person who makes it is bottled telling a story.
At Vinos Pijoan our philosophy is to create honest wines that incorporate the history of our terroir as a region, reflecting its aridity, its morning fogs, the winds and the heat of the afternoon, followed by cold and crisp nights. Having a code of honesty with our drinkers. We seek to create wines that reveal the personality of our region from our perspective.
You do what you say and you say what you do.
