Process & Production
Desnuda approaches tequila production with an emphasis on traditional methods and hands-on craftsmanship. According to the brand, its agave is allowed to mature naturally and is grown without pesticides or glyphosate, while nothing is added to the finished tequila to alter or mask its natural character.
The agave is roasted in stone ovens, followed by fermentation in closed tanks. Distillation takes place in copper stills, with the process guided by the distilling team rather than relying solely on automation.
As a Blanco expression, the focus remains on the fresh character of the agave and the flavors created through cooking, fermentation, and distillation. The finished tequila is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
