Description

Terralta — “Terra Alta” means High Land Our Distillery is located in Jesus Maria, Jalisco, Mexico at the elevation of 6,900 ft. The Highland soil is bright red clay, which is rich in nutrients, producing a richer, sweeter, agave-forward spirit with citrus and floral notes. Our Agave 100% estate-grown agave All ingredients are 100% natural Only fully-mature agave are harvested at their peak of ripeness Stems are hand cut before cooking as they can add bitterness, this extra step in our process is unique to our distillery ‘Felipenstein’ Process Stone ovens untraditionally roast agave from top and bottom Agave is shredded without compromising the sugars The tahona “Frankenstein” evenly presses the agave Relies on native, wild yeast originally propagated by Felipe’s grandfather 80 years ago Twice distilled in custom copper stills Produced with deep well water (450+ feet) from family estate Rested in ex-bourbon barrels that have been used several times to impart little, if any, flavor or color of the wood into the tequila so it is a true expression of the agave Reposado is rested 6 to 9 months Terralta core tequila is bottled at 40 ABV Sustainability Our goal is to be as self-sustainable as possible while still honoring the ancient methods of producing our tequila. We blend traditional tequila making with modern efficiencies to achieve a low carbon footprint with long-term sustainability.
