Product Description
Details
Coming from DO Arribes, a small wine region along the banks of the Duero river right on the border with Portugal, Bébeme is a fascinating Spanish red wine produced by Bodega Frontio, the wine project of Dane Thyge Benned Jensen.
This varietal low-sulphites red wine is made solely from Juan García, a fortunately recovered indigenous red variety that produces light-bodied and aromatic wines with moderate alcohol content (around 11%). Having virtually no equivalents in Spain, Juan García can only be compared to the Poulsard and Trousseau varieties from France, or Zweigelt from Austria.
The grapes are sourced from old vineyards, some of which are over 100 years old, composed of gravel and quartz soils and located in the southern area of the Zamora province.
Hand-picked and meticulously selected, the grapes were 60% destemmed and macerated for 3 weeks before fermenting in plastic bins with native yeasts. After that, this red wine from Arribes went through a spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
Then the red wine Bébeme 2021 was transferred into used French oak barrels and aged for 10 months.
This varietal Crianza red wine is one of the most characteristic Spanish wines you're likely to encounter.
Production below 3,000 bottles.

| Appearance | The red wine Bébeme is medium ruby with some violet reflections. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Compelling aromatic profile of sour cherries and strawberry leaf, two defining features of the amazing Juan García grape, and stony minerality, with intimations of flowers and a balsamic note. |
| Palate | Trim and linear, this wine of Bodega Frontio feels amazingly pure, with almost unnoticeable alcohol, fine tannins and stupendous freshness. Light-bodied, with sour red berries and flowers, and watery note and a mineral undercurrent. Delicious finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The most original Spanish red wine we've come across in a long while, Bébeme 2021 is absolutely marvelous. |

This is really beautiful. Light-bodied, very pure and spacious, fresh as a daisy. I'm absolutely smitten with this wine.
