Siete Leguas, Blanco, 750ml

After approximately seven years, the agave finally reaches the precise point in its maturity to yield the best flavor. This is when the Siete Leguas jimadores (tequila harvesters) cut away the leaves of the agave with a sharp tool called a coa in order to reveal the piña, the heart of the agave.

At Siete Leguas, they harvest the agave hearts (or “piñas”) and also save a small part of the green leaf stock – an important ingredient in their process for producing the characteristic body of their tequila.

This highly skilled labor, arduous and intense, protects what nature took so long to bring to fruition.
