These are planted further apart than most producers, ensuring that each agave is able to receive more sunlight and nutrients from the rich red soil.HAND HARVESTINGAfter waiting six to 10 years the specially trained jimadors harvest the best agaves by hand. Using a round tool called a coa, the jimador uniformly cuts the leaves from the piña to increase the quality of the juice and remove bitter flavours.SLOW COOKINGPiñas are cut by hand into thirds or quarters and then slowly steam-cooked in traditional masonry ovens for three days to concentrate the flavour and relesae the agave juice. It takes 8 pounds of agave to produce one bottle of tequila.BARREL AGINGOur aged tequilas are matured for up to five years in the finest grade-A reclaimed American oak barrels which impart a soft bourbon finish to the final spirit.
