Grape: Moscatel Negro
Bichi La Santa is a red natural wine made from centenarian, own-rooted Rosa del Peru (Moscatel Negro) grapes. The vines are grown at high elevation in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed, and fermented without temperature control in 450L concrete tinajas with 45 days of maceration. The wine was then aged for 3 months in half stainless steel vats and half older barrels. A lively and vertical vin de soif, La Santa is almost rosé colored in the glass, delicately floral, with red and dark fruits and juicy acidity. A lovely red wine to serve chilled with charcuterie and cheeses.
