Cargando Abejorro Wines

WHO WE ARE

The bumblebee travels its world in search of the purest nectar to transform it into one of nature’s noblest products: honey. Inspired by that tireless quest, at Abejorro Wines we traverse our vineyards with the same dedication, selecting every detail that allows us to craft authentic and memorable wines.

After years of participating in various winemaking projects in Argentina and having traveled through different wine regions of the world, the desire to start this own path was born. This is how Abejorro emerged: a project that combines experience, curiosity, and passion to create wines with identity.

Abejorro Wines is a joint venture between Mendoza entrepreneur Maximiliano Vallés and Finca Mevi S.A., a boutique winery located in Maipú, Mendoza.

Our purpose is simple: to create elegant, expressive wines deeply linked to their origin, capable of telling a story in every bottle.
Abejorro Icon

You inspire me with your harvest of nectar
To fly with you and sow dreams of greatness
Like you, who works only for queens
I wish to keep my soul in a thousand bottles.

Abejorro Icon

My land and my history guide me
To walk the paths of my vineyard
To seek the nectar of its grapes
And place their spirit into vessels.

Abejorro Icon

I engrave your image upon the glass
As a guardian of the wine
And you shall bear witness to nights
Of shared celebrations.

Poem by Fernando Sottano

A Small Story

There is a well-known story claiming that, from a scientific point of view, the bumblebee should not be able to fly. Its wings are supposedly too small to support its body weight. However, the bumblebee flies anyway. Perhaps because it never stopped to wonder if it could. It simply follows its instinct and flies… My journey in the world of wine bears a certain similarity to that story.
For many years, I was part of this industry, learning, exploring, and working on various projects, never imagining that one day I would take my own flight. Abejorro represents precisely that moment: the decision to fly. I invite you to join me on this journey and discover, in every Abejorro wine, that subtle buzz that heralds something special.

 

Limited Edition

BLACK BOMBUS
PINOT NOIR

Black Bombus is the ultimate expression of singularity and search. It is born as a collection of micro-vinifications where each wine is conceived as a unique work: a single barrel, a single variety, a single unrepeatable moment.

These extremely limited batches explore the deepest character of each terroir and harvest, selecting exceptional grapes to give rise to wines of precise identity and almost confidential production. Each edition reflects a personal interpretation, without constraints, where time, intuition, and detail define the final result.

THE BUMBLEBEE

There are approximately 25,000 known species of bees in the world. Bumblebees of the genus *Bombus*, with more than 250 species worldwide, are one of the most socially evolved groups. In Argentina, there are eight native species, and only one of them is found in Mendoza: *Bombus opifex*, a typically Andean species. This species is most commonly observed in the Mendoza foothills visiting typical flowers of this environment such as Pichanilla (*Senna aphylla*), Olivillo (*Hyalis argentea*), and Chañar (*Geoffroea decorticans*), but it also visits exotic flowers such as Alfalfa (*Medicago sativa*) and Musk thistle (*Carduus acanthoides*), among other species.

*Bombus* species are important plant pollinators, both for native plants and numerous crops. Some flowers only release their pollen when subjected to specific vibrations, as is the case with tomatoes and other solanaceous plants. This type of vibration can be performed by *Bombus* thanks to a special buzz, which allows them to collect pollen from these plants and thus pollinate them efficiently.

Like many bee species, *Bombus* in general and *Bombus opifex* in particular are severely affected by pesticides and habitat transformation. This species needs access to water sources to maintain the internal temperature of its nest, flowers throughout the entire season (October to April) to feed its offspring and develop new queens for the following season, and shelter in stable, undisturbed soil where it builds its nest.
