A Derrumbes Mezcal from Oaxaca, made with Espadín and Tobalá agave, cooked in a traditional underground pit and double distilled. It is allowed to rest for three months before the Mezcal is bottled in these rather stylish bottles. The result is sweet with citrus and fruity agave - smoke comes through on the palate, as does a touch of herbal pine.
Lively, with leather and wood smoke providing support for fresher and lighter flavours of citrus, raisins, pine needles, and sweeter and stickier notes of freshly cooked agave. Clean agave sweetness, toasted pumpkin seeds, a whiff of black pepper followed by red apple and grapefruit peels.
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.

The Calmel and Joseph, Villa Blanche Malbec, Syrah and Merlot are exceptional wines for day to day drinking. Although different styles of wine, they are all delicious. You won't be disappointed.
