The founder

Winemaker, with a degree in Environmental Science and Technology and a master’s in Oenology and Viticulture. Nátsa began as a family project, sustainable from the start. He makes it with his own hands, from the vineyard to the press, and has worked harvests away from Mexico, like Wachau, in Austria. He has taken Nátsa and Uja to tables in Portugal, South Africa, England, Brazil and Uruguay.

“I want to make wine I like, regardless of the trends in the market. It is much easier to be convinced by something I am passionate about than by something done just for the sake of it.”

What Nátsa believes

01Wine, like life, should be easy, happy and honest.

02Take away the pretension: drink it however you like, in a glass or a plastic cup.

03Mexican wine with Mexican raw material, for Mexican food.
