Fortaleza Tequila Blanco 750ml
Product Details
Aromas of citrus, and rich cooked agave fill your nose in this unique and very special blanco tequila. Also present: butter, olive, earth, black pepper, and a deep inviting vegetal complexity.
Flavors include citrus, cooked agave, vanilla, basil, olive, and lime. The finish is long and deep, complex yet easy to drink.
Fortaleza Blanco is a true aficionado’s tequila.
Our agaves come from the heartland of tequila, known as Tequila Valley, in Jalisco, Mexico. We allow them to grow and mature for at least 8 years before they are harvested. The agave that grows around our distillery are very sweet and mineral-rich, and have a lot to do with the signature aromas and flavors inside of Fortaleza tequila.
Our tequila is 100% stone crushed. Using a “tahona” (a large round 2-ton volcanic stone) pulled by an electric tractor (which took the place of our mule after he died) all of the agave fibers are crushed in a stone pit inside of our distillery. In this step the sugars are separated from the fibers of the plant so that the fermentation can fully occur.
Fermentation is done in wood open-air tanks. Using a special yeast that has been in our family for generations, we allow it to do its job: eat sugars, and produce alcohol.
Fortaleza is distilled twice in traditional copper pot stills. These stills have been in place since the distillery was built more than 100 years ago, and they bring a certain amount of “magic” to the process.
