It's made from Rosa del Peru grapes, first introduced to the New World by Franciscan and Jesuit friars in 1520. No additions in the cellar, fermented spontaneously with native yeast, bottled, unfined, unfiltered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eThe Producer: Bichi\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBichi means \"naked\" in some parts of northern Mexico, and for Téllez and Luyt, it thus seemed like an appropriate name to give their new natural wine project. Based at the Téllez family ranch in Tecate, just over the border from California, Bichi farms 10 hectares of their own Tecate vineyards biodynamically and collaborates with a growing family of organic farmers working vineyard land in Tecate and around Valle de Guadalupe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of the vines are head-trained and all are dry-farmed, hand-harvested, fermented with native yeast, and aged in a neutral barrel or vat so that the emphasis is on each wine’s Mexican terruño.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThre Region: Baja California, Mexico\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMexico has a centuries-long history of winemaking that has mostly gone under the radar. Spanish conquistadores planted vines in the early 1500s, before both Chile and Argentina, and Baja California represents about 90% of the vines in the entire country due to the ideal climate and geography. Brothers Noel \u0026amp; Jair Tellez, with the help of Chilean (by way of Burgundy) winemaker Louis-Antoine Luyt, are producing amazingly fresh and energetic wines from very old, recently recovered vineyards of Misión (aka Listán Prieto), Rosa del Peru (aka Moscatel Negro), Tempranillo and Carinena, among other varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0;\" height=\"400\" width=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d430475.91990928364!2d-116.93365020983016!3d32.55035981301479!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x80d90ea89a5f62e7%3A0x84a7f77c07cd016e!2sTecate%2C+Baja+California%2C+Mexico!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1547943824005\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43404405571800,"sku":"bichi-nicky-2017","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/bichi-nicky-snicky-red-natural-wine-primal-wine-natural-wine-primal-wine-copyright.png?v=1781888953","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/nicky-snicky-bichi-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
