Fuenteseca Cosecha 2017 Blanco
Fuenteseca · Tequilera Corralejo (NOM 1368)
Fuenteseca's vintage-dated blancos are exercises in patience and terroir. The 2017 cosecha reflects a specific harvest year's character — the agave was mature, the piñas were heavy, and the slow brick-oven roasting draws out extraordinary depth. This is blanco tequila with nothing to hide and everything to show.
Nose
Deeply roasted cooked agave with an almost caramelized sweetness. Tropical fruit — mango and ripe pineapple — sits alongside mineral earth notes and a faint herbal quality, like crushed thyme.
Palate
Rich and viscous for a blanco. The cooked agave carries exceptional depth, with citrus brightness cutting through midpalate. A peppery bite builds alongside subtle floral tones and an earthy mineral quality that lingers. The texture is almost oily.
Finish
Long and complex. Agave sweetness fades into white pepper and a clean mineral close. The fruit echoes softly.
