Description
Cava de Oro is a Tequila of exceptional quality and flavor. It was founded by the Partidas family in El Arenal, Jalisco, where it remains to this day. Whilst the brand is still an underdog, for most of the production remaining in Mexico and only few bottles being available in USA and Canada so far, it is received as one of the outstanding agave spirits by dedicated Tequila enthusiasts worldwide.
Cava de Oro is produced at Tequilera Puerta de Hierro, operated by the 3rd generation of master Tequila craftsmen. Only 100% Blue Weber agave grown onsite is used to ensure the highest quality possible. It all begins with the harvest: the jimadores hand select 7- to 10-year-old agaves from both the Los Altos and Tequila valley regions of Jalisco. Once collected, the agave-hearts are cooked in traditional brick-ovens and then crushed by using artisanal methods. This mixture of cooked fruit, fibres and juices is put into open steel tanks and with the help of wild yeasts slowly fermented into “agave-wine”. Once the yeast converted all sugars into alcohol, the wine is double distilled in traditional pot stills, paired with three generations of Tequila making knowledge.
Cava De Oro Tequilas are artfully crafted from 100% hand harvested blue agave and this savory Añejo is no exception. Aged for a minimum of two years in French white oak barrels, time lends not only an intense amber-golden tone, but a velvety body and excellent taste. A mixture of toasted aromas and generous notes of honey, nutmeg, black pepper, caramel and roasted oak. These aromatic compounds are very well recreated on the palate, along with the flavors of vanilla, plums and cinnamon that arise.
