Master Catador Mike Morales and Senior Taster, Rick Levy take a deep dive into “the most awarded tequila in the world,” Cierto Tequila
Our Master Distillers, Enrique Fonseca, and Sergio Mendoza, are fourth and fifth-generation agaveros, whose family has grown agave since the 1800s. Like fine winemakers who farm the land themselves, their growers’ lens and deep knowledge of agave make for the best tasting Tequila.
from the Cierto website
Cierto is made with fully mature, estate-grown agave from the Atotonilco Highlands, where the ancient red clay soil coaxes its roots to grow deeper and absorb its complex minerality. Enrique and Sergio personally tend to each orchard, harvesting plant-by-plant only when they recognize it has reached its potential, at the Maduro and Pinto stages.
