VALLE DE OJOS NEGROS • ENSENADA, BAJA CALIFORNIA
"The cult orange wine from Valle de Ojos Negros by Dominio de las Abejas.

Oenological Vanguard, Organic Viticulture, and Skin Maceration
The Dominio de las Abejas Orange Wine 750 ml is an extraordinary expression of natural and sustainable oenology produced by the winery Dominio de las Abejas (led by winemaker Mauricio Ruiz Cantú and viticulturist Ricardo Michel). Made in the cool Valle de Ojos Negros, Baja California, with grapes grown under CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) certification, this strictly dry wine is vinified like a red but from white grape varietals (a harmonious blend that includes Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, French Colombard, Marsanne, and Viognier). Spontaneously fermented with its skins (pomace) using wild native yeasts and aged on its lees, bottled without fining or filtering, it delivers a dazzling golden amber hue, rich unctuous yet firm texture on the palate, juicy saline acidity, and seductive aromas of tangerine peel, ripe peach, ginger, Asian pear, and hints of beeswax and orange blossom.
