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.
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample

Great
Great selection, great taste, great value, fast delivery
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
