Our Terroir
It all begins in the birthplace of tequila: Jalisco, specifically
in Arandas, a town in the fertile Highlands.

What makes this land so special?
The fact that it is the perfect place to grow agave: the right altitude, the acid
soil and the ideal climate –warm days and cold nights. And, above all,
the respect we have for both the agave and the land; we are very careful
when using fertilizers and coexist peacefully with the native flora and fauna.

When the agaves are mature, the leaves are cut off from the cores and then they are unearthed. This process is called jima and is performed by the skilled harvesters of the region, known as jimadores, who prepare the agave cores for the oven.
Cooking

After the agave cores are ready, they are slowly
cooked in traditional masonry ovens…
After the agave cores are ready, they are slowly cooked in traditional masonry ovens. We let them steam for 24 hours and we leave them to rest another 24 hours inside the oven. This allows the flavors and aromas to come out more vividly, and it gives a very distinctive, rich, caramelized touch.
Grinding

Once the cores are cooked and all the sugar is caramelized, they are ground in the milling area and then pressed to release the juice and further enhance the flavors of the cooked agave and the fruity scents that our terroir provides.
Fermentation and Distillation

After the fermentation process is completed, in which only natural yeast is added, the tequila is distilled in copper-column stills three times to ensure the outcome is the purest blanco: soft to the palate and ideal for sipping.
After the fermentation process is completed,

After the fermentation process is completed, in which only natural yeast is added, the tequila is distilled in copper-column stills twice to obtain an authentic reposado: rich and aromatic.
