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.
We've always been fans of Languedoc reds, and having tried this for the first time we are much taken with this example of southern whites. Beautiful balance of acidity and freshness. This will be on our repeat shopping list like Villa Blanche.
Although this is a new vintage for us, it never fails to delight. Full of lovely crisp Grenache flavour. We bought it for summer and starting drinking it in mid-winter!!
Clear cab sav and merlot on the nose, clean not complex. Soft tannins and good fruit moderately sustained.. Clean finish. Good oak handling. Certainly not a platinum whatever that is but good silver and excellent value for the money
A great bridge between commercial and premium, plus it's a good conversation starter! 5 stars at the current discounted price.

Great Value
At its price, one of the best reds I have tasted. The experience is consistent with the bottle notes, fruity, balanced with a hint of oak and a long finish.
