Fortaleza Reposado Tequila

Product Description:

Fortaleza Reposado Tequila is a testament to traditional tequila-making methods, prioritizing quality and authenticity over mass production. This reposado is crafted with 100% blue weber agave grown on the family estate in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. The agaves are harvested at peak ripeness and then slow-cooked in a small brick oven. The cooked agave is crushed using a traditional tahona (stone wheel), and the resulting juice is fermented in small wood tanks. The tequila is then double-distilled in copper pot stills and aged in American oak barrels for 6 to 9 months.

Fortaleza is known for its commitment to preserving the heritage of tequila production, resulting in a complex and flavorful spirit that reflects the true essence of agave.
