Viñas Pijoan

We are a small family-owned winery dedicated to produce honest wines, where we seek to express the elegance and corpulence of the terroir of Baja California’s wine valleys.
Mexican of Catalan origin, Pau Pijoan started his taste for wine from a young age on the family table, and it wasn’t until 1999, when as a pioneer of the movement of La Escuela de Oficios (where most new Baja Californian wineries have begun), he submerged himself body and soul in his new phase as a wine producer.

Our Philosophy

We are committed to produce honest wines that incorporate the history of our terroir, reflecting its aridity, its morning fogs, the winds and the afternoon heat, followed by cold and crisp nights. We seek to create wines that reveal the land’s diverse soils, ranging from the sands of the river banks and the decomposed oceanic granite, to the iron rich red soils. On these sites with the help of the human hand, the vine flourishes and rewards us with its fruit, which is managed with the care and respect that it deserves, bearing wines of great quality.

We are aware that most of what we are we owe it to our environment and therefore it’s natural to strive to protect it. On our small vineyard we promote the use of earth-friendly management techniques that affect as little as possible the complex relationships that naturally thrive on this rural setting.

For instance, we attempt to control the exploding rodent population by installing owl nests, to attract their natural predators and through the help of our four dogs rescued from the street. To repel insects we promote the arrival of swallows, the bird of our logo, and if the problem is severe we prefer the use of bioinsecticides. As well, we don’t use herbicides since we believe that managed weeds can be part of a vineyard; its control is made by mowing before it sets seed.
