Founded in 1984, Gruet Winery specializes in Methode Champenoise sparkling wines. Family owned and operated, the New Mexico-based winery produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay-based sparkling wines. The Gruet family, already well-established making Champagne since 1952 in France, knew a few European winemakers who had started vineyards in New Mexico with pleasing results. So, they visited the state and realized it was an ideal climate for growing grapes. In 1983, the Gruets purchased a vineyard near the Elephant Butte Reservoir and expanded their legacy to the U.S. More than 25 vintages later, Gruet Winery has achieved critical acclaim and remains a favorite across the country.
