Raicilla is an agave distillate like mezcal - just made in a different state of Mexico (Jalisco, to be precise)
Bonete Raicilla Sierra is made with agave Maximiliana in a single distillation. The agaves are cooked above ground in an adobe oven with black oak firewood. They are then fermented with wild yeasts, and single distilled in a stainless steel alambic still.
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
