Derrumbes Zacatecas Mezcal is made exclusively with Blue Weber agave, which is usually used for making tequila. However, the Zacatecas region is famed for creating mezcals in the style of tequila.
The spirit is produced in a traditional style, which means that the agave is pit roasted, crushed with a tahona wheel and fermented with wild yeast before distillation. A vegetal, smoky treat, truly authentic - Derrumbes Zacatecas is a rare opportunity to travel back in time to experience a more ancient expression to Blue agave.
A hint of citrus zest behind loads of green, vegetal agave notes, alongside lots of peppery spice and smoky grass, with a refreshing touch of menthol on the finish.
The wine looks like one I shall enjoy and boast of once having consumed it.I intend sharing this splendid red with our son over Christmas - happy to furnish you with a tasting review then and , hopefully, purchase a few more bottles.
