Monte Xanic – Chardonnay 2020
Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California – Mexico 🇲🇽

Overview:
100% Chardonnay from one of Mexico’s pioneering and most acclaimed wineries. The warm, sun-drenched vineyards of Valle de Guadalupe impart a distinctive richness while preserving freshness through careful vineyard management.

Aromas & Flavors:
Tropical and expressive, with baked mango, ripe pineapple, and a touch of papaya. Subtle floral hints and a light buttery note give added dimension.

Mouthfeel:
Medium-bodied with weight and intensity, balanced by a lively streak of acidity. The palate carries a fine texture and lingers with a long, elegant finish.

Food Pairings:
Pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, ceviche, roasted chicken with citrus glaze, or even creamy pasta with shrimp.

Verdict:
A Chardonnay that showcases Mexico’s unique terroir, warm, bold, and tropical, yet elegant in its balance. A strong reminder that Valle de Guadalupe is producing wines worthy of global attention. Cheers!

Did You Know?
Monte Xanic was one of the first boutique wineries in Mexico (founded in 1987) and is often credited with helping elevate the reputation of Mexican wines internationally.
