Nayarit Wine Among Mexico’s Finest
For the second consecutive year, a Nayarit wine has been ranked among the top 99 wines in Mexico.
This recognition comes from CAVA Magazine, a publication dedicated to promoting the culture of Mexican wine, mezcal, and craft beer. Through a blind tasting, sommeliers evaluate wines from across the country, awarding prizes in various categories and compiling the list of the best 99.
This year, Meseta del Cielo, a Nayarit-based winery, earned two medals: a silver medal for its Syrah 2023 aged 12 months in barrels, and a bronze for its young wine, Gran Poeta. In 2023, the Syrah 2022 vintage also made the list, marking the second consecutive year that Nayarit wines have been recognized.
Does Nayarit Produce Wine?
Yes, Nayarit produces wine! Although this may come as a surprise, the Meseta del Cielo project began recently in 2019, with grapevines imported from Europe. After extensive cultivation trials, the Syrah and Marcebo varietals successfully adapted to the region’s ecosystem. By 2022, the first commercial batch of Nayarit wines was produced, earning immediate acclaim and positioning Meseta del Cielo as one of Mexico’s top wine producers.
Located in the Cofradía de Juanacatlán, Meseta del Cielo opened as a tourist destination in 2023. It has since become a must-visit spot in the Pueblo Mágico of Jala, offering wine tastings, guided tours, and vineyard visits.
