Production of the Tequila Rosa from Hacienda del Sol

The base is 100% Blue Weber agave from the highlands. Ripe piñas are harvested by hand. Afterwards they rest briefly and breathe out. This gently removes bitter substances.

The piñas are gently cooked in a stone oven. Long and gentle, so the agave’s sweetness can shine. After cooking the traditional crushing follows. A stone tahona presses the juice out slowly. This keeps the texture soft and the must deep.

Fermentation runs free and clean. House yeasts from the casa start the fermentation. Low temperatures keep aromas clear and pure. Thus a must-like, floral note develops.

Distillation is carried out twice in copper pot stills. The maestro separates heads and tails precisely. Only the heart remains. It shines soft, clear and rich in agave soul. Bottling strength is set with pure volcanic water. This makes the spirit round and precise.

For the pink shimmer the tequila matures briefly in wine barrels. Lightly toasted barriques give fine berry suggestions. Here notes of hibiscus, red fruit and vanilla arise. The aging remains short so freshness and agave stay forward. A gentle filtration preserves clarity and shine.

Quality comes first. Each batch is managed small and carefully. Tequila Rosa - Hacienda del Sol thus stays true in style and profile. Every detail follows the credo: clarity, balance and depth.

2. Crushing with tahona, gentle and cool
