Our History
In the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert, where the wind whispers ancestral secrets and the mountains guard sacred memories, a people was born whose history is as indomitable as their spirit. The Apaches, guardians of the sun and the moon, knew how to transform adversity into a legacy. Every step on the arid land was a declaration of resistance, every battle an affirmation of identity.
One of the most iconic spots on this journey is Tres Castillos, where the vastness of the desert embraces those who dare to dream. There, the remains of old ranches, trenches, and forgotten camps bear witness to a past that still resonates in the collective memory. It is not just a place: it is a sacred wound, an echo of struggle that becomes a silent guide.
Among the most intense stories emerges the spirit of Juh, an Apache warrior whose determination marked a before and after. At his side, Victorio and Mangas Coloradas complete the lineage of leaders whose intelligence, strength, and vision shaped the destiny of their people. Their profound and sober legacy is honored today in Valle de los Encinos with a collection of wines bearing their names. Gran Juh wine, like him, possesses character, complexity, and a soul forged in the earth itself. Each sip evokes history, determination, and permanence.
The Chiricahua, known as N’dee—”the people”—carried their dignity beyond imposed borders. They refused to be subjugated and instead sowed intelligence, strategy, and resilience as eternal banners. In every trace of their history lives a spark of the future, a lesson in freedom.
Today, in Valle de los Encinos, those mountains that witnessed ancestral history rise again as guardians of the present. Here, where tradition intertwines with modernity, the land once again becomes the stage for new stories, new beginnings. This journey is not just a look back. It’s an invitation to honor what we were, to understand what we are, and to glimpse all we can become.
Today you can be part of this history and live the best version of your life.
