Volteo Cristalino Organic Tequila: Clarity, Purity, and Aged Perfection, Organically Crafted
Experience the exquisite harmony of tradition, innovation, and unwavering purity with Volteo Cristalino Organic Tequila. This exceptional spirit stands out in the Cristalino category, offering the sophisticated depth of an aged tequila, meticulously filtered to brilliant clarity, all while adhering to stringent organic standards. It's a testament to crafting tequila with respect for both the land and the palate.
Volteo Cristalino begins its journey with 100% certified organic Blue Weber Agave, cultivated without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers in the fertile volcanic soils of Jalisco, Mexico. These mature piñas are slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens (hornos) to ensure optimal flavor development. Following fermentation and distillation, the magic of Volteo Cristalino unfolds: it is crafted from their Añejo tequila, which is aged for at least 18 months in American white oak barrels. This extended maturation imparts rich notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. To achieve its pristine clarity, the aged Añejo then undergoes a precise carbon filtration process. This meticulous step carefully removes the color and some heavier compounds imparted by the oak barrels, while diligently preserving the complex flavors and smooth character developed during its long rest. Bottled at a balanced 40% ABV (80 Proof), Volteo Cristalino Organic Tequila offers a uniquely smooth, clean, and flavorful experience, perfect for the health-conscious connoisseur who appreciates both purity and prestige.
