After visiting the organic farmers market we walked over to the tasting room for Cavas del Mogor. The facility is beautiful and the commitment to quality is very good.

We sampled the three wines of the winery. The first was the 2014 Perinea Blanco which is a light wine wine. We then followed this with the 2013 Perinea, which is a mix of French and Mexican grapes.

We then finished our tasting with the wine of the house, the 2012 Mogor-Badan. The wine maker of this vintage was Natalia’s brother who has since passed on.

Here is a photo of him.
