Tequila Valles Partida 2021

$45.00
The growing, maintaining, and harvesting of the agave plant continues to be a physical effort based on centuries-old techniques passed down from generation to generation. Casa Mexa tequila is estate-grown and distilled using plants harvested exclusively from our agave fields. Jalisco’s temperate climate allows cold ocean air currents to interact with the desert’s heat to enhance the agave’s quality and complexity, allowing it to flourish. Our plants spend eight years maturing before moving through the harvesting process. Casa México makes its tequila from 100% Blue Agave Tequilana Weber.

Vinification

MEXA Artisanal tequila is crafted using traditional, time-honored methods that emphasize quality and craftsmanship over industrial production. The process begins with **harvesting mature agave plants**, which are typically between 7 to 10 years old. The hearts of the agave, called **piñas**, are then slowly cooked in **brick ovens** or **stone ovens** (hornos) to convert their complex carbohydrates into fermentable sugars. Afterward, the cooked piñas are crushed—often using a traditional **tahona** (stone wheel)—to extract the juice, or **mosto**. This juice is then fermented in **open-air wooden vats** using wild or cultivated yeasts, before being distilled, typically twice, in **copper stills**. Artisanal tequila producers pay close attention to every step to ensure the resulting spirit retains the natural flavors of the agave, resulting in a more complex, authentic tequila compared to large-scale, industrially produced varieties.
