Riazul Plata Tequila: The Unblemished Spirit of Highland Agave
Experience the pristine essence of Jalisco's highlands with Riazul Plata Tequila. This exceptional unaged spirit stands as a testament to Riazul's unwavering commitment to purity, showcasing the vibrant, unadulterated character of 100% Blue Weber Agave from their unique, high-altitude estate. It's a crisp, clean, and authentic expression, perfect for those who seek the true heart of tequila.
Riazul cultivates its Blue Weber Agave at an impressive elevation of 7,000 feet in the highlands of Jalisco. The rich, red volcanic soil and distinct climate at this altitude contribute to agave piñas that develop an exceptional sweetness and complexity. After a meticulous 36-hour slow roasting process in traditional stone ovens, the agave is fermented with a proprietary yeast and double-distilled. As a Plata (Blanco) tequila, it is then immediately bottled, without aging. This direct-from-still approach captures the agave in its most authentic form, delivering a bright, lively, and intensely flavorful tequila that embodies its unique terroir.
