The Terroir and the Magic in the Glass: Arteaga's Essence Arrives at La Cava Chahue
Climate and Vineyards: Our secret? An enviable continental climate in the Sierra de Arteaga. At 2,100 meters (approx. 6,890 feet) above sea level, warm summer days and cool nights create temperature swings of up to 25°C (45°F) during grape ripening. The result? An extended ripening cycle that concentrates intense colors, deep flavors, and complex aromas in our wines. With our precision viticulture, we carefully tend to each plant to ensure the quality of every cluster.
Winery and Processes: At the winery, excellence is our standard. We perform a double manual selection of grapes and use only the best materials for bottling, guaranteeing optimal preservation. Our micro-vinification processes allow us to create precise and superior wines. The natural acidity of our grapes, enhanced by the summer climate, provides a unique structure that also favors and extends aging times. And yes, all our wines are made with 100% estate-grown grapes within our own facilities. This way, we ensure maximum quality, from the vineyard to your glass, now available at La Cava Chahue!
José Trillo Rivas: The Master Winemaker Who Tames the Wind
Meet the genius behind our wines: José Trillo Rivas. This Agronomist Engineer and Winemaker brings with him the wisdom of Spain's iconic Ribera del Duero and the experience of giants like Vega Sicilia and Lapostolle Clos Apalta in Chile. His vision is clear: innovate and differentiate, always respecting tradition. It's his mastery that allows our wines to capture the vibrant essence of the Sierra de Arteaga, especially when summer is at its peak. And now, his art is available for you at La Cava Chahue!
Our Story: From Ancient Roots to a Bright Future
Our winery's name honors the Huachichile indigenous people and their devotion to the God of Wind, an ancestral echo that inspires us. We were pioneers in the Sierra de Arteaga, expanding our vineyards since 2010 with varieties like Shiraz, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, and even an experimental field with 20 different varieties.
Today, we cultivate 14 hectares (approx. 34.6 acres) that produce nearly 35,000 bottles of Premium wine annually. We are especially proud of the success of our Pinot Noir, a grape that, against all odds, thrives under Arteaga's sun.
Looking ahead, we'll continue to focus on quality and differentiation, with a strong commitment to research and development. We combine traditional techniques with high technology to innovate and offer the best. We're convinced that the Sierra de Arteaga will produce some of Mexico's finest wines, and we are proud to be part of this legacy.
