Lágrimas del Valle Tequila celebrates the concept of terroir, ensuring each bottling is a single-ranch vintage ("Rancho Único") showcasing the unique flavors derived from each specific growing location. This 2024 La Sabina vintage is sourced from a high-elevation ranch in the state of Guanajuato, the first vintage from this state. Every vintage is crafted at NOM 1123, the Cascahuín distillery, by Master Distiller Chava Rosales, utilizing a consistent process blending traditional and modern methods, and bottled at 46% ABV. This is, bottom line, a really well-made Tequila.
