You’ll taste/smell: a wine with a captivating orange hue and an expressive aromatic profile. It entices the senses with notes of dried apricot, pineapple, and peach. On the palate, this wine reveals a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and smooth, rounded tannins, making for a delightful and memorable tasting experience.

Good to have it with: a common and highly recommended food pairing for wines with muscat is spicy Asian cuisine, such as Thai or Indian dishes due to their aromatic and slightly sweet nature. But Luis Aburto, the winemaker suggest with chicken, fish with a creamy sauce, with nuts, with a chocolate dessert or flan.

The Winery: Tierra de Peña

Tierra de Peña is an agro-ecological vineyard where we seek to return to the origins, accompanying the grape in all its growth process to enhance its unique and natural qualities, producing natural wine and granting an incomparable flavor, that only Nature can give us.

Tierra de Peña is a new project from father and son team Luis and Roberto Aburto, based in Colón in the state of Querétaro, Mexico.  This area, north of Mexico City, features part of the lofty Sierra Madre Oriental Mountains, a subset of the long range of mountains that includes the Rocky Mountains and the Cascades. Tierra de Peña’s vines are planted at 1,900 meters (6,000 feet) above sea level in a working farm with chickens and other crops that is in sight of the colossal Peña de Bernal monolith, which gives the project its name.
