Siembra Valles Tequila Blanco 750mL

Siembra Valles Tequila Blanco is a celebration of the rich volcanic minerality of the Valles lowlands region, crafted with meticulous attention to traditional tequila-making methods. Distilled at the family-owned Destileria Cascahuín, which sits in the shadow of the iconic Cascahuín mountain—a “hill of light” that attracts lightning from passing storms—this tequila is a product of its profound geographical and cultural surroundings.

Traditional Production Techniques:

Siembra Valles embraces age-old techniques in each step of production to ensure the integrity and purity of their tequila. This begins with the roasting of agave in brick ovens, a method that imparts incredible aromas and flavors without the use of modern diffusers or autoclaves. The extraction of sugars from the roasted agave is performed using a hand-operated roller mill, striking a balance between tradition and efficiency.

Fermentation and Distillation:

Fermentation occurs naturally in brick tanks, leveraging ambient yeasts and incorporating bagasse to deepen the agave flavor. The distillation process utilizes stainless steel stills fitted with copper serpentines, allowing every drop of tequila to contact copper, enhancing flavor while managing production costs. This method avoids the use of column stills, which can strip away flavors for the sake of efficiency.

Single Estate Cultivation:

Each agave plant used in Siembra Valles Tequila Blanco is sourced from a single estate, ensuring consistency and a distinct expression of terroir. The agave Tequilana Weber Azul is cultivated with precision, allowing it to mature fully and develop a deep flavor profile, reflective of the unique conditions of its growth environment.
