Noel Téllez hand-harvests the low-yielding fruit, processing it naturally with minimal cellar intervention. The whole clusters undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open-top cement vats, utilizing a short maceration to extract fine tannins and bright varietal aromatics. The wine ages in neutral oak casks and stainless steel before being bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with zero added sulfur. This is an earthy, high-altitude Mexican red defined by raw vitality, crunch, and rustic clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eA pale, hazy ruby-garnet hue introduces expressive aromas of wild raspberry, sour plum, damp terracotta, blood orange zest, and dried sage. On the palate, focused flavors of tart cranberry, pomegranate, rhubarb, and ground clove are carried over a light, fluid frame. Supple, fine-grained tannins and a bright, driving line of natural acidity give the mid-palate an energetic, mouthwatering tension. It concludes on a clean, bone-dry finish marked by lingering notes of crushed stone, bitter orange peel, and dried desert flora.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bichi Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50611527909616,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3678\/4368\/files\/Bichi-No-Sapiens-red-2024.jpg?v=1792004738","url":"https:\/\/www.lessismorewines.com\/products\/bichi-no-sapiens-tinto-tecate-2024","provider":"LESS IS MORE WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
