Bichi, La Gorda | Skin-contact Chenin Blanc | 2020 | Tecate, MX
The grapes come from mostly a dry-farmed parcel of Chenin Blanc planted in the 1980s on granitic soils in Tecate and are hand-harvested, de-stemmed, and fermented with wild yeasts in concrete tinajas (amphoras), with three months of skin contact before pressing. The wine is raised over the winter and bottled without fining, filtration, or added SO2.
