Lágrimas del Valle 'La Sabina' 2024 Tequila Plata Guanajuato, La Romita, Los Valles, Jalisco

750ml bottle
46% abv

Aromas of rich, cooked agave, bright green herbs, and palo santo. Subtle chalky minerality with notes of roasted parsnip and guava. Unique and savory.
A clean and layered palate. Powerful, savory cooked agave, vibrant, crisp citrus, and gentle black pepper spice. Notes of mint, sweet potato, and fresh-baked bread.
The finish is long, clean, and satisfying. Agave sweetness and bright citrus linger, with persistent minerality. Warmth from the high proof slowly fades, leaving a fresh, clean, inviting aftertaste.

This tequila is a blend of modern and traditional production methods, with 70% of the agave processed by roller mill and 30% crushed by a tahona. The juice is then fermented separately in both stainless steel and open-air wooden tanks with agave fibers, before being double-distilled and bottled at a robust 46% ABV (92 proof), offering a full-bodied and authentic expression. This unique, intermittent cooking method—where agaves are cooked for 8 hours a day over four days—allows for deep, layered flavor development.

Lágrimas del Valle, or "Tears of the Valley," is a vintage, single-estate tequila that masterfully captures the unique terroir of Guanajuato. This high-elevation ranch, located in La Romita, is surrounded by mountains and yields agave with a distinctive character. Produced in collaboration with the Rosales family of Tequila Cascahuín, this additive-free tequila is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and a celebration of the rich complexity of the blue Weber agave.
