“Puntagave Rustico controlled denominations are a departure from the “business as usual” tequila concept because it delivers “complexity of character.” It does it by featuring a variety of appellations highlighting agave flavors. These esoteric spirits are from different altitudes and micro-climates throughout Mexico and just like wine, these agave distillates are a result of weather and terroir. What does this mean? What it means is that PUNTAGAVE will demonstrate by different taste profiles and aromas that “terroir” exist in agave, the same way the wine industry has demonstrated it exist in grapes.
The most unique characteristic about PUNTAGAVE RUSTICO is that it delivers “complexity of character” rather than the “consistency of characters” possess by PUNTAGAVE ARTISANAL. Every controlled denomination of PUNTAGAVE RUSTICO is a unique product of an specific origin, micro-climate, time, and method of production. it’s truly special, “It shifts, it moves, it’s a profound and unique experience. when tasted side by side, “priceless”.
There are two major agave growing regions for tequila, the highlands (Los Altos) and the tequila valley at 3,700 meters above sea level. For years producers and consumers have been debating which agave produces the best tequila? One thing is for certain, that the rich red soil (terroir) from the highlands is very porous and the rain water filters right-through, leaving these agaves extremely stress for survival. Highland agave yields the highest grades of sugar content. There is a popular claim that the highlands rich soil produces a sweeter, more citrus, and fruitier-tasting profile. PUNTAGAVE Tequila is produced in Los Altos with highland-grown agave in the town of Jesus Maria Jalisco.”
