Process & Aging

Tierra de Ensueño Single Barrel Red Wine Cask Añejo is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave, reflecting the brand's emphasis on preserving the character of the agave throughout production and maturation.

As an Añejo tequila, the spirit must undergo a minimum of one year of aging in oak barrels, allowing it to develop greater richness, complexity, and depth.

This expression is distinguished by its Single Barrel Red Wine Cask designation, highlighting the influence of an individually selected wine cask on the finished tequila.

Red wine barrels can contribute subtle fruit characteristics, additional oak complexity, and gentle tannic structure, creating a distinctive interaction between the tequila's natural agave sweetness and the influence of the wood.

The exact maturation duration, wine variety, and previous use of the selected barrel have not been confirmed.

The finished tequila is bottled at 43.2% ABV (86.4 proof), providing a slightly elevated strength compared with standard 80-proof tequila.

Its combination of Añejo maturation, single-barrel individuality, and wine cask influence makes it an appealing expression for enthusiasts interested in exploring alternative approaches to tequila aging.

How to Enjoy
