Nose
Roasted agave leads, rich and sweet, followed by bright citrus zest, green herbs, and white pepper. Beneath it all, a wet mineral earthiness emerges — limestone and volcanic soil — that announces a tequila with genuine terroir.
Palate
Bold and full-bodied for a blanco, with intense roasted agave sweetness, black pepper spice, and vegetal undertones balanced by lime and grapefruit citrus.
Finish
Cooked agave, olive brine, mint, and a chalky limestone minerality carry through to a peppery, satisfyingly long close.
- Agave
- 100% Blue Weber Agave, 7-year lowland plants
- Production
- Brick oven roasted, roller mill extraction, open-air fermentation with bagasse and native yeast
Cocktail Suggestion
Cocktail — Siembra Margarita: Combine 2 oz Siembra Valles Blanco with 1 oz fresh lime juice and 0.75 oz agave nectar in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a salt-rimmed rocks glass over fresh ice.
Food Pairing
Pair with: Ceviche of fresh snapper with lime, cilantro, and serrano chile — the citrus and minerality of the tequila mirror the brightness of the dish while the pepper echoes the chile’s heat.
