Liquor producer Emperador Inc. said Wednesday its Mexican subsidiary is expanding its winery business to support long-term growth plans.
Emperador said in a statement Casa Pedro Domecq which specializes in wine-making and tending vineyards would embark on an expansion program to support the continued and long-term growth of the winery.
“While Casa Domecq is essentially known for its popular brandies in Mexico—Presidente, Don Pedro and Azteca de Oro—the winery business is showing great promise and prospects. Over the years, Bodegas Domecq has successfully developed wines such as Los Reyes, Calafia, XA, and Chateux Domecq,” Grupo Emperador Spain chief cxecutive Joan Cortes Vilardell said.
Emperador said there were plans for the planting of vineyards in the Ojos Negros Valley and equipping the winery with the latest technology. “We are very much honored to have a role in the advancement and recognition of the wine-making tradition in Mexico through Bodegas Domecq,” Vilardell said.
