See here our shipping policy.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at (424) 414-2040 or via e-mail at hello@primalwine.com between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Sunday, we would like to understand and try to solve your concerns. We can offer refunds only as store credit.

Producer profile

Bichi

Bichi was founded in 2014 by Noel Téllez and the Téllez family after they moved from Sonora to Baja California. The winery bottled its first vintage in 2014, and Louis-Antoine Luyt collaborated with the family through 2017. Noel Téllez previously worked as a lawyer before running the project full time, while his brother Jair Téllez is a chef. Bichi works approximately 10 hectares of owned vineyards in Tecate and collaborates with growers in Tecate and San Antonio de las Minas. Estate production is reported at 30,000 to 55,000 bottles per year.

Bichi farms approximately 10 hectares of owned vineyards biodynamically and works with additional organic growers. The estate is listed at about 750 metres in elevation, with granite and sand among its reported soils. Around 80 percent of the vineyard area is rain-fed, while 20 percent consists of very old vines that have survived local climate changes. Much of the estate planting is own-rooted and pre-phylloxera. Varieties grown across the project include Misión, Rosa del Perú, Tempranillo, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot, and Moscatel.

At estate level, Bichi harvests and destems grapes by hand before gently treading them by foot. Fermentations use native yeasts, with locally made concrete amphorae and flex tanks among the vessels used in the cellar. Aging can take place in neutral barrels and stainless-steel vats. Sulfur is used only when necessary, with importer information describing additions of approximately 10 parts per million at bottling for some wines. The cellar does not rely on fining or filtration as standard practices. Noel Téllez directs the winery, with assistance from Beaujolais-trained Yann Rohel.

Wine region

Tecate, Mexico

Tecate lies in northern Baja California near the United States border, within a winegrowing area shaped by inland mountain valleys and Pacific influence. Vineyards around the town are commonly planted above 600 metres, with many sites exceeding 600 metres in the Puerta Norte area. Sandy loam and granite are recurring vineyard soils, while the wider municipality also contains granodiorite, tonalite, clay, sand, and alluvial deposits. The climate is Mediterranean, with dry warm summers and winter rainfall. Distance from the Pacific reduces direct marine cooling compared with coastal valleys, while elevation moderates daytime heat and preserves nighttime temperature shifts.

Tecate is a geographic wine area rather than a regulated European-style appellation with an established DOC, DOCG, or AOC date. Baja California wine labels do not operate under a single regional blending code that sets minimum percentages for grape varieties, yields, or cellar methods. The wider wine map includes Tecate and Tanamá as well as Valle de Guadalupe, San Antonio de las Minas, Ojos Negros, Santo Tomás, San Vicente, and La Grulla. There are no legally defined Riserva, Gran Selección, Grand Cru, UGA, or cru tiers attached to Tecate. Baja California wines use grapes including Misión, Palomino, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Tempranillo, and Nebbiolo in varietal wines and field blends. Bichi La Gorda Yori sits within this geographically defined, non-regulated Tecate wine structure.
