Fuenteseca Cosecha 2020 Blanco
Fuenteseca · Tequilera Corralejo (NOM 1368)
Enrique Fonseca's Cosecha series is built on the idea that agave harvested in a specific year has a unique terroir signature worth preserving. The 2020 Cosecha is bright and precise, showcasing how slow-roasted highland agave can produce a blanco of uncommon depth. No additives, no shortcuts—just agave, time, and fire.
Nose
Bright cooked agave dominates, followed by lime zest and a grassy green vibrancy. Underneath, there is a subtle mineral earthiness and a whisper of white pepper.
Palate
Silky entry with roasted agave sweetness giving way to citrus peel and a pronounced herbal complexity—thyme and eucalyptus. The mid-palate delivers a clean mineral note and a touch of fresh almond.
Finish
Medium-long, with lingering pepper and a fade of cooked agave sweetness.

Fuenteseca Cosecha 2017 Blanco
Fuenteseca
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.
Fuenteseca Reserva Extra Añejo 11 Year

Eleven years in barrel would destroy most tequilas. Fuenteseca's survives because of its muscular distillate and careful cask selection. The agave remains the protagonist even as the oak adds operatic depth. This is contemplation tequila — a category in itself — and proof that agave spirits can stand alongside the world's finest aged expressions.

Exceptional value for a still-strength expression of this quality.
