Grapes Grown by Guillermo Contador in La Union , New Mexico

Appearance:
Brilliant pale gold with subtle green reflections, suggesting freshness and youth.

Nose:
An intensely aromatic bouquet that leaps from the glass—lush white peach, apricot, and ripe pear form the core, accented by elegant layers of honeysuckle, orange blossom, and a hint of tangerine zest.

Palate:
Medium to full-bodied with a rounded, silky mouthfeel. The ripe stone fruit flavors carry over—nectarine, lychee, and grilled pineapple—balanced by lively citrus acidity that keeps it vibrant. A subtle minerality lingers, offering a clean, dry finish with touches of ginger and white tea.

Texture & Structure:
Soft, almost creamy on the mid-palate, yet lifted by the altitude-driven freshness unique to New Mexico’s vineyards.

Finish:
Long and elegant, echoing floral notes and a fine hint of fresh citrus.

Viognier in New Mexico

Viognier thrives in New Mexico's high desert climate, particularly in regions like the Middle Rio Grande Valley AVAand the Mesilla Valley AVA. These areas offer warm days and cool nights, ideal for preserving the grape's aromatic intensity and balancing its natural richness.
