Silvana Pijoan, a former dancer turned Baja natural-wine trailblazer, runs Barbera through carbonic maceration for a no-sulfur-added glou-glou red that makes the case for Valle de Guadalupe as a natural-wine frontier.

Tasting Notes

"Bright, glowing raspberry in the glass, with juicy pomegranate, cherry and wild-strawberry fruit plus the playful candied lift of carbonic fermentation. Soft tannins, naturally zippy acidity and a faint saline edge keep it lively and best with a light chill. Tacos al pastor, spicy fried chicken, or pizza" — Harvest Wine Shop

The Winemaker

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.
