DISTILLED AND BOTLLED IN VALLE DE GUADALUPE, JALISCO, MEXICO
La Gritona Reposado Tequila is a subtle rested tequila distilled by Melly Barajas and her staff of women at her small distillery in Valle De Guadalupe, Jalisco (NOM 1533). Melly distills La Gritona only with agave that has matured, always with an age of between 8-10 years, and all of her piñas must originate in the iron-rich red soil of the local Jalisco highlands. These agave plants are cultivated at the height of their sugar production, near the end of the life cycle. They are put into ovens within 24 hours of trimming. La Gritona IS and ALWAYS has been additive-free.
Melly’s agave is first steam cooked in two thick-walled earthen ovens for 24 hours and then allowed to rest for another 24 hours before crushing. The collected liquid is naturally fermented and oxygenated in open steel vats at a rate that is dictated by the local air temperature, usually 8-12 days. Once fermentation is completed, we distill our nascent blanco tequila twice. We rest the distilled blanco in reused American whiskey barrels (Jack Daniels and Balcones) for 6 months before bottling.
Our reposado is very pale in it’s color for a tequila with a 6 month barrel rest. We use the same barrels over and over again to allow for them to become stripped of most of the residual oak, whiskey, and color. We like for barrel notes to be as stunted as possible in our tequila. Our aging is intended only to soften and round out the blanco tequila from which La Gritona is derived, not to introduce new notes. Our intention is to keep the verdant and crisp qualities of the original plant intact while still allowing it to age briefly in the oak. We do not use copper stills or a tahona, and we do not diffuse or use an autoclave. Our cooked agave is crushed with a steel mill and we distill our liquid in steel stills with copper coils. Every step of production takes place under one roof and our facility is overseen by a small staff of local women that work each process from start to finish.
All of the agave remnants that are left over after production are given to local farmers to use as cattle feed. Our bottles are hand blown with recycled Mexican glass in Zapopan, an hour away from the distillery.
Mi Campo Tequila Blanco
$40.99
From the Producer:
" Our tequila begins as 100% Blue Weber Agave, matured for seven years. We gently squeeze the cooked piñas, illuminating the agave plant’s natural honey characteristic and quelling any trace of bitterness.
Blanco is double distilled, then fermented in open-air tanks, amid fragrant citrus trees, before resting for up to one month in the same French oak barrels used for aging Napa Valley Chardonnay, imparting an incredibly smooth taste.
Mi Campo Reposado
$41.99
Mi Campo Reposado is a tequila that balances vanilla, oak, and wine barrel-derived notes of grapes and fruit with agave sweetness, making it a smooth, approachable option for sipping or cocktails, though some reviewers note its flavor can be subtle or masked by mixers. Aged for three months in used French oak wine barrels (Napa Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir), its flavor profile is characterized by caramel, vanilla, citrus, and a lingering peppery spice, distinguishing it from many other tequilas in its price range.
