Bichi "No Sapiens" - 2024

750 mL
Item # 39152

No Sapiens comes from a single, dry-farmed, 69-year-old vineyard comprised of a mysterious grape variety that remains unidentified. The farmer says it could be Dolcetto, Luyt thinks maybe Cariñena due to its sharp acidity, no one is quite sure and perhaps it doesn't really matter as this wine shows its place beautifully. Brothers Noel and Jair Téllez, with the help of Chilean (by way of Burgundy) winemaker Louis-Antoine Luyt, are producing amazingly fresh and energetic wines from very old, recently recovered vineyards. Bichi farms 10ha of their own vineyards biodynamically and collaborates with a growing family of organic farmers working vineyard land in Tecate and around Valle de Guadalupe. In the winery, grapes are destemmed by hand and gently trodden by foot, and fermentations are carried out by wild yeast in locally-made concrete amphorae.

Staff Pick Notes

Mexico? What? They make wine? Why yes, my friend, they most certainly do! And this medium bodied red is an absolutely fantastic step in the world of Mexican wine. I don't know about you but the mystery Air Head is always my favorite. You know the silver one with all the question marks all over it. You could think of this bottle as the wine version of the mystery airhead. The folks at Bichi are not 100% sure of the grape that is used to make this wine. They think it could be Dolcetto but hey why don't you take a crack at it. No matter what it's going to be fun.
