Producer Description
Dr. Hans Backhoff and four of his friends founded Monte Xanic in 1987. Recognized as Mexico’s first boutique winery, it is a state-of-the-art, award-winning estate. The idea for the name and logo came after a spring rain: the entire valley was covered with beautiful desert flowers, which led to the name Monte Xanic, which in Mexican and Indian means “the first flower that blooms on the mountain after the rain”. The total production is 50,000 cases per year, all from estate fruit. The grapes are harvested by hand, at night.
