The second winery from Mexico present at Nantucket Wine Festival is Freixenet Mexico with two of their best sparkling wines:
** NV Viña Dolores Dolores Brut Reserva - 50% Macabeu, 50% Xarel-lo
** NV Vivante Sparkling Rosé - 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Ugni Blanc (not pictured)
Founded in 1979, Freixenet México is located in Ezequiel Montes, Querétaro and is a member of the Henkell-Freixenet family of wineries. The largest winery in Central Mexico, and one of the largest in the country overall, Freixenet México must practice extreme viticulture in its semi-arid conditions at over 6,500 feet above sea level. Like most other wineries in the Henkell-Freixenet family, Freixenet México focuses primarily on sparkling wine, which accounts for over 70% of its annual production. Renowned winemaker Lluis Raventós (), originally from Spain, incorporates classic Cava varietals Xarel-lo and Macabeu, as well as Ugni Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, to create these various sparkling wines. Freixenet México provides valuable technical expertise and equipment to the burgeoning wine industry Central Mexico. With an annual production of 225,000 cases of wine, Freixenet México is truly a world class winery. 🍷🇲🇽
