Fortaleza Anejo Tequila 750ml
This tequila is aged two to three years in oak barrels and has a beautiful silky smooth character that does añejo right: rich, but not cloyingly sweet. Guillermo Erickson Sauza, a fifth-generation member of the iconic family, produces Tequila Fortaleza, using traditional techniques. This is a beautiful, artisan, hand-crafted, stone milled tequila. Tequila Fortaleza is produced entirely within the walls of their estate, using centuries old traditional methods that create a tequila which is unequaled in taste and smoothness. Using an old oven with meter-thick brick walls, they cook their agave for 36 hours. Then they crush or mill the agave as Guillermo's Tatarabuelo did over 135 years ago in their stone mill called the tahona. The crushed agave is then washed with pure mountain water from the Volcán de Tequila to separate the pulp from the woody fibers to create an agave juice called mosto. The woody fibers of the agave, called bagazo, are removed at this time and taken to the fields to use as compost. The agave mosto is then fermented naturally for five days in small wood vats, and then double distilled using small copper pot stills. The result is authentic tequila, created by people who care about keeping it traditional.
