San Luis Potosi

San Luis Potosí, famed for cultivating Agave Salmiana, known as "The Green Giant," yields a unique Mezcal with high minerality and herbal-green notes. With an arid desert climate and minimal irrigation, the agave thrives under harsh conditions, contributing to its distinctive characteristics. The region, designated with Denomination of Origin in 1994, upholds strict regulations enforced by the Consejo Regulador del Mezcal since 1997. Additionally, San Luis Potosí hosts a handful of wine producers near its namesake city, crafting varietals like Shiraz, Nebbiolo, and Malbec, adding diversity to Mexico's viticultural landscape.

The high altitude and semi-arid climate favor grapes that thrive in warm, dry conditions. Expect bold reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Syrah, alongside intriguing options like Tempranillo and Grenache. White wines like Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer offer refreshing alternatives.
