L.A. Cetto Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from L.A. Cetto's vineyards in Baja California, in north-western Mexico, the country's main wine region. The house is based in the Valle de Guadalupe, a few kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, where a Mediterranean-type climate combines generous sunshine with the cooling influence of sea breezes. These conditions favour even ripening of the grapes while preserving the balance and purity of the fruit.

The grapes are machine-harvested. They ferment in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, at between 28 and 30 °C, for around fifteen days, in order to extract colour and structure while keeping the brightness of the fruit. The wine is then aged for twelve months in French oak barrels and matured for six months in bottle before release.

This wine reveals notes of raspberry, red cherry, blackcurrant, caramel, vanilla, cocoa, eucalyptus and liquorice. The ruby colour heralds a palate with a supple, well-balanced attack, a hint of sweetness and mellow tannins. The fresh, indulgent finish lingers on hints of eucalyptus.

Mexico is known for producing many things. Premium tequila? Naturally. A refreshing beer? Obviously. Top quality wines? This is what we will see...



Established in the 16th century in Mexico by the conquistadors, it was from Mexico that the vine spread to America. The first monastic vines were cultivated in the center of the country. Today, the 26,000 hectares of vines are divided into 5 regions, the most important of which is Baja California. At the cutting edge of technology like their neighbors in the United States, it is precisely this corner of Mexico that makes the country's wines famous. The region, which stands out for its Mediterranean microclimate and its altitude of 300 meters, has been producing Mexico's best wines for 30 years.



With the recent opening of several well-known hotels and restaurants, it has become known to both discerning Mexicans looking for a local drink and Californians looking for a hipper alternative to the Napa Valley. After all, the region is the closest wine country to Southern California, an hour and a half drive from San Diego and just under four hours from Los Angeles.



The valleys of Guadalupe, San Vicente, San Antonio, las Minas and Tecate are the valleys where the great LA Cetto vineyards are located. This wide variety of terroir allows you to take advantage of the different microclimates and soils which benefit from winds and sea breezes. These are large vineyards which are recognized not only for their great beauty but also because they make it possible to obtain high quality wines, notably with vineyards up to 80 years old.
