NETA Espadín + Tepextate Agave Spirit (750ml / 48%)

NETA Espadín + Tepextate Agave Spirit is a 2022 field blend made by Gilberto Aquino García in Logoche, Miahuatlán. Cultivated Espadín and wild Tepextate were roasted, fermented and distilled together—not blended after distillation—giving this tiny release a direct connection to its plants, place and producer.

Gilberto harvested 64 ripe Espadín piñas from family land and sourced 120 wild Tepextate piñas from San Andrés Paxtlán. The 50/50 mix spent 15 days in a mesquite-fired earthen oven before machete and mechanical shredding, native-yeast fermentation in six Montezuma cypress vats, and two distillations in copper pot stills.

PRODUCER: Gilberto Aquino García
AGAVE: 50% Espadín and 50% Tepextate
PROCESS: Earthen-pit roasted, native-yeast fermented and double distilled in copper
RELEASE: 240 bottles allocated to Australia
ENJOY: Pour neat in a copita and give it time in the glass; a few drops of water can open a high-strength agave spirit without masking its character.

At 48% ABV, this is a small-batch NETA release for drinkers who value transparent production and the character of a true co-fermented ensamble.
