5 Wines to Buy from Querétaro, Mexico
"I found that Vinedos Azteca benefits from high-altitude "extreme viticulture": winemaker Jesús Cardoso explains the altitude generates thicker-skinned grapes due to sun radiation and cool evenings that preserve acidity. Their 2016/2017 Pretexto Red Blend, a six-varietal mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Syrah, and Tempranillo, is fruit-forward with blackberry, currant, and black cherry notes laid over generous spice and a hint of vanilla, and it boasts a beautifully well-balanced palate." - Camille Berry
