Process & Profile
Fortaleza Blanco is a traditionally produced tequila crafted at Tequila Los Abuelos in the Tequila Valley of Jalisco. Made from 100% estate-grown blue Weber agave, the piñas are roasted in stone ovens, crushed with a tahona wheel, and fermented in open-air wooden tanks using ambient yeast. After double distillation in copper pot stills, the tequila is bottled unaged to preserve the pure, vibrant character of the agave.
