Vinos del Marqués

Founded in 2013, Vinos del Marqués located in El Marqués, Querétaro, approximately 3 hours north of Mexico City. This is in the heart of the Central Mexico Highlands. With its vineyards located at 5,905 feet above sea level in an arid climate, Vinos del Marqués truly practices extreme viticulture. Being at this high elevation allows the winery to grow quality grapes despite being located just south of the 21st parallel. Winemaker Mauricio Rodríguez is a rising star in the country; he serves as a consultant with several other Mexican wineries, but Vinos del Marqués is his baby. Vinos del Marqués is notable in its heavy use of Nebbiolo, an unusual grape to grow at such a high altitude, but one that does extremely well in this terroir. Wines produced include a Nebbiolo/Tempranillo Rosé, Tempranillo, Nebbiolo, Syrah, and a Nebbiolo/Syrah Reserve Wine. With only 2,000 cases of total production, this is truly an up and coming boutique winery.
