Production of the Tequila Gold Reserva from Valle Alto

The base is ripe blue agave from selected sites in Mexico. Only the hearts, the Piñas, go into the stone oven. Slow roasting releases sugars, reduces bitterness and awakens the deep agave aroma. Afterwards comes crushing, traditionally with a Tahona or a gentle roller mill. This keeps the fiber clean and the juice clear.

Fermentation runs in open vats at a calm temperature. Pure culture or wild yeast shapes the style. Time brings depth, calm brings purity. The Maestro Tequilero watches over every step. He checks aroma, sweetness and acidity until the mash matures harmoniously.

Distillation takes place gently in copper. Two runs refine the heart of the spirit. Copper binds sharpness, the spirit of the agave remains alive. Carefully cut fractions ensure clarity and brilliance. This is how a pure, fragrant distillate is created.

For the golden color the tequila rests in selected oak barrels. Lightly toasted staves provide vanilla, caramel and gentle roasted notes. Barrel time brings rounded edges, a silky mouthfeel and a noble sheen. In the end you have a tequila with warm gold, fine sweetness and lots of character.

Serving recommendations for the Tequila Gold Reserva from Valle Alto

Neat it reveals itself best in a nosing glass. 18 to 20 °C brings aroma and depth into balance. A large ice cube slows its opening and extends the flow. This way caramel, vanilla and agave show themselves clearly and nobly.

With food it pairs well with grilled pineapple with chili and lime. Tacos al Pastor lift the sweet roasted notes. Ceviche with lime and coriander brings freshness and salt. Quesadilla with mild cheese provides melt and calm. Dark chocolate with 70 percent cocoa sets noble bitterness. Sautéed shrimp with garlic add spice and juiciness.

For cocktails it shines with depth and structure. Tommy’s Margarita brings agave, lime and fine sweetness into harmony. Paloma delivers fizz, a salty rim and grapefruit freshness. A Tequila Old Fashioned shows wood, vanilla and a faint smoke.

• Tommy’s Margarita: 6 cl tequila, 3 cl lime, 1.5 cl agave syrup, shake vigorously, serve over fresh ice, glass with salt rim

• Paloma: 5 cl tequila, lime, pinch of salt, grapefruit soda, in a highball over ice, stir briefly

• Tequila Old Fashioned: 6 cl tequila, 0.5 cl agave syrup, two dashes of bitters, on a large ice cube, orange twist

As a food pairing a clear line is very effective. Spicy tacos, fresh seafood, sweet-ripe pineapple or dark chocolate create distinct accents. This produces a play of sweetness, salt, acidity and spice.

Those who love spirits will reach for a noble glass of this. The scent of agave, the warmth of oak and the fine sweetness invite you to linger. Buy the Tequila Gold Reserva - Valle Alto online in the spirits shop now and experience the magic of Mexico at home.
