Varietal Nebbiolo
Cepage 50% Grenache, 50% Nebbiolo
Winemaking After a low yielding but impeccable growing season, the Grenache was harvested on the 17th of September and Nebbiolo on October 15th (in both cases this was around 2 weeks ahead of their typical schedule). The Nebbiolo clone they use is so lightly pigmented that they actually leave it on the skins for 4 days before fermentation, whereas the Grenache had just 12 hours of skin contact before being separated for fermentation. Each variety is fermented and aged separately and not blended until just a month before bottling. Like all the rest of the wines from Las Abejas, this wine was fermented on ambient yeasts without any corrections of any kind and was bottled without fining or filtration. Sulfites: 50 ppm
Aging 12 hours on the skins and 4 months in stainless tank.
Alcohol by Volume 12.4%
Annual Production 516 cases

Tasting Notes This has been one of the most singularly interesting rosés to come from Mexico since the estate made its debut in 2015, and up until this vintage it has been 100% Nebbiolo. After side experiments over the past few vintages, where they had played with small batches of various blends they alighted on a 50/50 blend of Grenache and Nebbiolo that they plan to work with going forward. The structure of the Nebbiolo combined with the mid-palate an delicate notes from the Grenache, result in a sublime blend that is certain to take those already in love with this wine to another level. Much lighter in color than the 2023, the 2024 seems to be smiling as it looks out at you from inside the bottle.
Selling Point Organic, native ferment, small production, delicious!
Pairings Salads, baked or poached fish, spicy tacos and sunshine
Sustainability Vegan, Green Practicing, Sustainable In Practice, Minimal Intervention / Augmentation, Natural Fermentation
The Story
The first year Grenache has been blended into what was always 100% Nebbiolo. A delightful addition that delivers a fully flushed out mid palate that was somewhat lacking in the previous vintages. This winery keeps making all of the right moves from vintage to vintage. The only wish is that there was more of it to go around!
