Wine Profile:

Vinisterra is a Mexican winery located in the Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California, founded in 2002. It focuses on producing high-quality wines with minimal intervention to reflect the valley's terroir.

Vinisterra Pies de Tierra is a signature red blend from Vinisterra, made primarily with Tempranillo, Syrah, and Grenache. It is a medium to full-bodied wine with flavors of red and dark fruits, earthy notes, and spices, reflecting the terroir of the Valle de Guadalupe. This wine highlights Vinisterra's philosophy of minimal intervention and showcases the region's unique character.

A wine that will leave you wondering why you haven't seen Syrah and Tempranillo blended more often, this is another extraordinary effort by Vinisterra whose wines are always a stunning combination of elegance at high amplitude. This is a full-bodied wine that has plenty of bright tart red fruits to keep it lively on the palate, and never, despite it's immense presence, does it lay heavily on the palate.
