Organic

40% Malbec, 30% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the one wine in our Mexican wine selection that speaks to the Mexican heat. This is a full-bodied red with a voluptuous presence on the palate and chewy tannins. Reminded me of the wines of Ribera del Duero, decadent but crafted really well.

Organic / Natural / Orange Wine

A co-ferment of Trebbiano 40%, Sauvignon Blanc 21%, Marsanne 19%, Chardonnay 10%, Colombard 6%, Viognier 4%. Skin contact. 12% abv. This is a serious medium-bodied orange wine that somehow remains delicate on the palate. Tangerine and marmalade notes up front with herbaceousness and tension on the finish.

Organic / Natural

This is a dry, beautifully complex Rose from 50% Nebbiolo 50% Grenache.
12.4% abv. This is, without a doubt, one of the best Roses we have tasted all year! Delicate in color but not in character. This is not Provencal in style nor Piedmont as the variety may suggest, but more akin to Bandol Rose. Layer upon layer keeps revealing itself as you sit with the wine. Superb!

The philosophy of Dominio de las Abejas is very simple: sustainable vineyard with organic certification by CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) and minimal intervention winemaking. Wild fermentations, no corrections, no fining or refining.

Organic / Biodynamic

The 2023 is a brilliantly crisp vintage for this white from the biodynamic organic Carrodilla winery. Those familiar with this wine will be surprised to find that the 2023 is a 100% Sauvignon Blanc rather than a blend of Sauv and Chenin as it has been for many years. In this vintage, ample sunlight and a balanced growing season combined with a winter that was sufficiently cold and wet to keep the vines dormant until the early spring to create a wine with elegance and vigor beyond its pedigree. Lighter on the tropical notes found in many of the Sauvignon Blancs from this region, here one finds more the high citrus notes of lemon and lemongrass layered in with grapefruit, white peach, fresh cut lawn and honeydew melon.
