Real Del Valle Tequila is crafted in the beautiful region of Guanajuato, Mexico. This region is known for its rich soil and ideal climate, which create the perfect conditions for growing the finest Blue Weber Agave. The agave plants used in Real Del Valle Tequila are carefully cultivated and hand-selected to ensure only the highest quality plants are used in the production process.
The production of Real Del Valle Tequila follows traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The agave plants are harvested by skilled jimadors, who carefully remove the leaves to reveal the heart of the plant, known as the piña. These piñas are then slow-cooked in traditional brick ovens to release the sweet flavors and aromas of the agave.
After the piñas have been cooked, they are crushed to extract the sweet agave juice. This juice is then fermented using natural yeast, which converts the sugars into alcohol. The fermentation process is carefully monitored to ensure the flavors and aromas of the agave are preserved.
Once the fermentation is complete, the tequila is distilled in copper pot stills. This traditional method allows for the removal of impurities and the concentration of the rich agave flavors. Real Del Valle Tequila is typically double-distilled to achieve a smooth and refined taste.
After distillation, the tequila is aged in oak barrels to further develop its flavor profile. The aging process allows the tequila to take on the characteristics of the wood, adding complexity and depth to the final product. Real Del Valle Tequila is aged for a minimum of six months, but some expressions are aged for even longer to create a truly exceptional tequila.
Throughout the entire production process, Real Del Valle Tequila is never diluted or adulterated with any additives. This commitment to pure, unadulterated tequila ensures that every bottle of Real Del Valle is of the highest quality and provides an authentic tequila experience.
Real Del Valle Tequila is made in the region of Guanajuato, Mexico, using traditional methods and 100% Blue Weber Agave. The careful cultivation, harvesting, and production process result in a tequila that showcases the true flavors and aromas of the agave plant.
