ORIGINS
Winery: Santo Tomás
Region: Baja California
Baja California is a Mexican state located on the western coast of the country, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Gulf of California to the east. It is the second-largest state in Mexico and is home to some of the country's most exciting and innovative winemaking.
Winemaking in Baja California dates back to the 1683, when Spanish missionaries planted the first vineyards in the region. Since then, the region has seen a steady growth in its wine industry, with the first modern winery established in the late 19th century. Today, Baja California is one of Mexico's most important wine regions, producing a wide range of styles from both international and local grape varieties.
