Siembra Valles Blanco Tequila
Tequila Blanco
Siembra Spirits // Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Valles is the brainchild of Siembra Azul founder David Suro, who wanted to create a tequila at the very first distillery he'd visited, Distileria Cascahuin (NOM 1123). The lowland Valles area in which it is located is known for its mineral-rich agave grown in the volcanic soils of El Arenal, Jalisco.
The agave is slow roasted for up to 72 hours and shredded 4 times for optimal use of its sugars. It is meticulously fermented in a combination of Mamposteria (a stone structure enclosed by fiberglass) and stainless steel tanks.

Tasting Notes
"This style of tequila is fresh, yet rich, with a soft and velvety weight and tart, vegetal flavors at the onset. After a couple of sips, the minerality is balanced with sweeter fruits and spearmint, and a strong, peppery spice. It ends in a pleasant, rustic, earthy finish that keeps its bitterness in check. The flavors just keep unfolding with every sip!"
