Why Terralta Blanco is Special

Terralta Blanco stands out for its exceptional purity and rich, bold flavour profile. This premium tequila is made from 100% handpicked blue agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, an area known for its mineral-rich soil and ideal growing conditions. The unique deep-well water, sourced from 140 meters underground, contributes to the tequila's smooth and earthy character, setting it apart from other blancos on the market.

The process of creating Terralta Blanco begins with slow-cooked agave in traditional stone ovens, which infuses the tequila with an authentic, earthy taste. The agave is then crushed using a tahona, a large stone wheel, which helps extract the purest juice, preserving the essence of the agave. The result is a tequila that captures the heart of Jalisco’s geographical uniqueness, with vibrant notes of citrus, black pepper, and soft cinnamon heat.

With an ABV of 40%, Terralta Blanco delivers a clean, smooth sip, perfect for sipping neat, enjoying on the rocks, or mixing in high-end cocktails. Its balance of bold flavours and smooth finish makes it a favourite for those who appreciate premium tequila.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: Captivating blend of cooked agave, earthy minerals, vegetable notes, and a touch of citrus zest, with hints of black pepper.

• Palate: Harmonious combination of cooked agave and earthy notes, softened by butter and subtle mushroom undertones.

• Finish: Crisp and mineral-forward, with a gentle warmth from the pepper and a smooth, lingering aftertaste.

Pairing

Terralta Blanco pairs wonderfully with a wide range of dishes. It complements grilled meats like steak or chicken, offering a contrast to the rich flavours. Its bright citrus notes also work beautifully with seafood, especially ceviche or grilled shrimp. Terralta Blanco pairs perfectly with creamy dishes like guacamole and soft cheeses.

Terralta Blanco tequila shines in cocktails as well. Use it to craft a refreshing Margarita, a Paloma, or simply enjoy it in a classic Tequila Sour. The versatility of Terralta Blanco allows it to elevate any drinking experience, no matter you're hosting a celebration or enjoying a quiet evening.

Product History

Origin, Craftsmanship, and Awards

Terralta Blanco is a product of Felipe Camarena's El Pandillo distillery, known for its commitment to traditional craftsmanship and innovative techniques. Felipe Camarena, the "Godfather of Tequila," continues to honour the legacy of his family, combining old-world methods with modern technology. The agave used in Terralta Blanco is grown in the highlands of Jalisco, specifically in the Los Altos region, where the unique soil and climate produce some of the best agave plants in the world.

The agave is harvested after 8–10 years of growth, ensuring peak ripeness for the highest quality. After the plants are harvested, they are slowly cooked in traditional stone ovens, which enhance the natural flavours. The cooked agave is then crushed using the tahona method, a technique passed down through generations. This process extracts the purest juice, preserving the true essence of the agave.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, and the tequila is double distilled in copper pot stills, giving it a smooth, clean finish. The water used for distillation is drawn from a deep well located 140 meters below the surface, imparting a mineral-rich quality that enhances the taste.

Terralta Blanco is 100% additive-free, allowing the natural flavours of the agave to shine through in every sip. It is a true representation of the regions unique soil influence and Felipe Camarena's dedication to producing premium, high-quality tequila.
