These are the best red wines on the market, according to Profeco

Red wine, one of the most revered and complex beverages in the world, has captured the imagination of wine lovers for centuries. From the fruity character of a Pinot Noir to the intensity of a Cabernet Sauvignon, each type of red wine has its own distinctive profile, influenced by factors such as the type of grape and the aging process.

Between aromas, presences and flavors, the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco) shared the findings of its latest analysis, in which it evaluated 19 Mexican wine brands found in supermarkets and stores nationwide.

The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of these wines, considering various key aspects for consumers. The analysis carried out by Profeco included the review of the alcohol content, dry extract, amount of methanol, net content, as well as the aroma and flavor of each wine. In addition, the assessment of independent sommeliers was included, who carried out blind tastings to ensure an objective and unbiased evaluation.

The best Mexican wines according to Profeco analysis

5. La Redonda

With an alcohol volume of 11.84, it stood out for its authenticity and richness, reflecting the uniqueness of the terroir of the Querétaro wine region. Boasting a multivarietal in the selection of one, the dry, robust structure obtained a four-star rating that placed it in the “Very Good” category.

4 and 3. L.A. Cetto

Originally from the Guadalupe Valley in Baja California, the drink made from Petite Sirah remains with an alcohol volume of 13.98. Its distinctive character is due to the careful selection of grapes and the meticulous winemaking process, which results in wines with rich flavors, well-defined tannins and an elegant balance. This same brand took two spots since it also includes wine made with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which demonstrates its diversity and quality.

Produced by Bodegas El Cielo, it stands out for its balance and complexity, characteristics that make it an outstanding option for wine connoisseurs. Galileo El Cielo is distinguished by its intense notes of ripe fruit, spices and a subtle touch of oak, the result of careful aging in wooden barrels on Californian lands. Its Tempranillo 2013 was classified in the “Very Good” category.

This is the best Mexican red wine, according to Profeco

This wine, presented in a 750 ml bottle, is offered in a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with an alcohol content of 12.57 percent. This combination is renowned for its ability to produce robust and complex wines, which masterfully balance fruity and spicy notes. The aging adds a dimension of elegance and depth, making it an excellent choice for special occasions.

According to the national body, this wine provides a unique drinking experience, thanks to its aging in American oak that enriches its complexity and elegance. Profeco recommends this red wine not only for its exceptional flavor, but also for its antioxidant benefits and its affordable price.

Aged for 13 months in American oak barrels and 11 months in the bottle, the Orlandi wine has developed a distinctive profile that earned it the Silver Medal at the Mexico Selection by Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2017. In the sensory analysis, three independent sommeliers conducted a blind tasting to identify possible defects such as citrus odors, turbidity, humidity, mold, solvents, as well as unbalanced or sour flavors.

Final rating from the Attorney General’s Office: Five stars, “Excellent.”
