* MEXICO DAY * CUNA DE TIERRA -  a story of friendship and love for wine.

6/5/2017

Dolores Hidalgo has been a wine producing area since the 16th century, characterized by the rebel temperament of its people. There, Father Hidalgo taught the wine-making trade to the settlers who saw the results of their efforts during the harvest. Life was like this, until the troops sent by Viceroy Francisco Javier Venegas destroyed the vineyards, arose the revolutionary spirit of Father Hidalgo and the Dolores’ settlers, and hastened the independence movement that would later conclude in the birth of a new land.

Many years later, Don Juan Manchón arrived at Dolores Hidalgo, expanded vines and befriended Don Ignacio Vega. Together, they began to plant vineyards in the land. Don Juan’s son became an enologist and promised himself to produce wine if he returned to that place. The first hectare was planted in the mid-‘90s. The chosen variety was Cabernet, which 15 years later would be used to make one of the first wines to be sold to the public.
The first vinification process began in 2005, with those grapevines, then more than 15 years of age. The first commercial wines were produced in 2008 and 2010, when the label “Cuna de Tierra Bicentenario” was exclusively for Palacio de Hierro Store.

Quality increased thanks to the traditional methods used to take care of vines. Based on studies and constant experimentation, the differentiating characteristics of Guanajuato’s wine were determined. Currently, six red wines and one white wine are produced, constituting a boutique vineyard of more than 74.1 acres (30 hectares), where many varieties of grapevines and wild grapes are grown for grafted rootstock.
