Rancho Rancho Tepúa Bacanora Blanco 750ml

Rancho Tepúa Bacanora Blanco Discover the hidden spirit of Sonora with Rancho Tepúa Bacanora Blanco. For generations, the Contreras family produced this traditional agave spirit in secret during a nearly century-long prohibition. Today, maestro vinatero Roberto Contreras crafts this exceptional Bacanora legally, preserving the rugged, authentic methods of the Sonoran Desert. This particular expression is a true micro-batch treasure, with a highly limited production of just 270 liters. Crafted entirely from 100% Agave Pacifica (Agave angustifolia), the plants are harvested on the family ranch, roasted in an underground stone pit oven using local mesquite and oak, naturally fermented with wild yeasts, and double-distilled in a traditional copper-and-stainless-steel still. Bottled at a robust 45% ABV, it perfectly captures the region's untamed, complex terroir. Tasting Notes Look: Completely clear and bright with a rich viscosity that coats the glass. Aroma: Complex and savory, opening with intense notes of roasted green pepper, mesquite smoke, wet earth, and a hint of wild peppermint. Taste: Bold and deeply traditional. A sweet, rich core of cooked agave is balanced by dry minerals, campfire smoke, anise, and a distinct herbal, pine-forward freshness. Finish: Long, warm, and exceptionally clean, leaving lingering notes of dry wood smoke, cracked black pepper, and earthy agave sweetness.
