Baja California, Mexico – Winery Casta de Vinos has introduced its latest creation, Pitaya, during the Baja Window to the South event. Esteemed sommelier Romina Mendoza led a tasting that highlighted the wine’s distinctive characteristics, emphasizing its rich flavor and philanthropic purpose.
Pitaya Wine is more than just a beverage; it honors those who have battled breast cancer. Each bottle carries a special significance, as a portion of the proceeds supports breast cancer awareness initiatives. The wine is crafted using a unique grape skin contact process, resulting in its striking color.
During the tasting, Mendoza described the wine as possessing a delicate balance of flavors, featuring hints of peach and subtle floral notes. “It is a very aromatic wine. Upon tasting, it doesn’t come across as sweet; it envelops your palate,” she explained, noting the wine’s refreshing acidity and raspberry undertones that enhance its profile.
Mendoza recommends pairing Pitaya with light dishes such as entrées, tapas, and salads. However, she cautioned against serving it with meat or desserts, as these combinations might overshadow the wine’s delicate nuances. While she prefers it slightly fruitier, she believes it serves as an excellent starting point for any meal.
For wine enthusiasts eager to learn more about Pitaya and its intriguing backstory, Mendoza invites you to discover this wine that promises to tantalize your taste buds and unveil new flavors.
