Tasting Notes
Nose
Patient and profound — twenty-five years of wild growth in a single inhale. Earth, dried wildflowers, dark fruit, smoke. The most contemplative opening in the range.
Palate
The densest of the three Tepeztates. Full-bodied, earthy, deeply mineral. The clay pot and encino fermentation layer upon twenty-five years of accumulated character.
Finish
Very long. Drying, mineral, deeply satisfying. The finish that stays longest.
How to Serve
Neat. A reflective, unhurried pour — the flagship of the Tepeztate trio.
Food Pairing
Duck confit, dark chocolate, aged hard cheeses.
