The winery was founded in 1987 by five friends who shared a desire to make high quality local wine using noble grapes and a dedication to their process. Monte Xanic, pronounced sha-nik and roughly translates “flower blooming after first rain,” helped introduce the idea of Mexico thriving as a wine producing nation.
