Dominio de las Abejas Description
Tasting Notes and Drinking Window:
All of the wines in the lineup from Dominio de Las Abejas are best summed up by a single word “delicious” as their balance of fruit, tannin, texture, and persistence all seems to perfectly tweak the pleasure dial to 11.
This 100% Nebbiolo is one of the few representations of this grape variety you’ll find in Mexico that presents with the same light color and structural rigidity of wines made of this grape from Italy’s Barolo and Barbaresco regions. The true mystery of this grape is how it can be so light and beautiful in color and texture and yet deliver such intensity of flavor and structure. Here that dual nature of the grape is on full display with a color and body that are similar to a rosé but with the intensity and structure of a serious red.
The 2023 has more of a punch to it right out of the gate compared to previous vintages, and the balance here is absolutely incredible. This is hands down a top wine from the 2023 vintage and without a doubt the best vintage of the wine to date. Since 12 hectares of their estate vineyards came on line in 2023 we were able to get a lot more of it too. This will be the wine of the 2024 summer.
