The core expression from Amatiteña plants a flag, early and proud. With powerful aromas that strike the nose long before the glass reaches your lips, every batch is a unique statement of time and terroir. Made from estate-grown agave exclusively using historic techniques—from wood-fired oven to stone tahona, from open-air fermenters to the fabrica’s original copper pot stills—Amatiteña makes no apologies for the stunning, even formidable profile of its blanco.

Aged for 12 months in ex-Napa Valley red wine casks of American oak, Amatiteña Añejo seems to gracefully straddle the line between terroir and barrel influence, between serious tequila and nightcap treat—all without a moment’s hesitation. Rich in profile yet lean enough that it never topples into decadence, this is an añejo that stirs memory.
