Yoowe Bacanora is made in the state of Sonora, Mexico, from maguey Pacifica (Agave Angustifolia), which is also known as Yaquiana locally. The agave is cooked in a traditional underground oven with mesquite and oak. After a wild fermentation, there are two distillations in stainless/copper stills.
This is a spirit that the Yaqui Indians have been making in Sonora for some time. This is really rare. Aromas of pepper, earth and saline. The palate is complex and clean with minerals integrated with spice, notes of salt and mint. The palate is deceptively smooth, and oh so enjoyable!
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
