Fuenteseca Cosecha 2018 Blanco
Fuenteseca · Tequilera del Salto de Juanacatlán
Fuenteseca's Cosecha series emphasizes vintage-dated agave, and the 2018 harvest delivers a blanco that tastes like terroir in a glass. This is a tequila for sipping — unhurried and unapologetic about its complexity. Not a mixer, not a party pour. A conversation piece.
Nose
Deeply herbaceous — cooked agave, wet mineral earth, and a citrus peel brightness. There's a faint floral note that floats above the earthiness. Time in the glass reveals a subtle yeasty bread note.
Palate
Clean and precise with roasted agave front and center. Green herbs and white pepper follow, complemented by a mineral backbone that gives the tequila real structure. The mid-palate shifts toward citrus and a hint of almond.
Finish
Long and dry with lingering pepper, earth, and a clean agave echo.
