Production of the Tequila Blanco from Destilería Valle Real

The soul of this tequila lies in the blue Weber agave from Mexico. Ripe agave hearts, the piñas, form the base. They store sweetness, power and the terroir of the soils. Carefully harvested, the hearts are gently halved and prepared for cooking. This preserves the pure agave aroma.

The piñas are slowly cooked in traditional stone ovens. Low heat allows the starches to turn into sweet agave notes. The cooking shapes the later aroma with hints of agave caramel, citrus freshness and fine spice. After that comes milling. A heavy stone wheel, the tahona, opens the fibers. The sweet agave mash is gently freed. This keeps the heart of the plant in the must.

Fermentation runs with selected yeasts. Cool fermentation leads to clear fruit and fine spice. The resulting agave mash preserves salt, citrus and clean sweetness. Afterwards comes distillation. In copper the pure, clear core is formed. Carefully separated runs secure the best middle cut. This gives the spirit purity, shine and depth.

As a Blanco the spirit matures without barrels. A short rest in steel smooths the structure. Then filtration and adjustment to 41.0% vol. follow. This polishing preserves citrus, agave and pepper. Every bottle of Tequila Blanco - Destilería Valle Real fills the house’s essence. The 0.7 l bottling fits bar and home bar. The result is a clear, fine and powerful spirit. A prime example of tequila from Mexico with a modern signature.

Quality shows in details: clean must, calm fermentation, precise distillation. The house works with focus on balance, purity and agave power. The line remains purist, with respect for origin and craftsmanship. This is how a Blanco with character and aura is created.
