Santaleza Blanco Tequila

Santaleza, a name meant to evoke a place of sanctuary, is the first tequila venture from Chopin Imports, the importer behind Chopin vodka, and it was created in partnership with the López-Villarreal family of San Matías, one of Mexico's oldest tequila-making families, with everything from harvest to bottling done in the Jalisco Highlands, where the red, mineral-rich soil produces sweeter, more floral agave. Tequila Matchmaker lists it under NOM 1604 in the southern Los Altos region. The production is deliberately old-school: fully matured 100% blue Weber agave from the highlands is roasted in masonry ovens, crushed by a 135-year-old tahona stone wheel, fermented in open-air vats of local roble wood filled with mountain spring water from the distillery grounds, and distilled twice in copper pot stills, with no diffuser and no additives. The Blanco is bottled unaged at 40% ABV (80 proof). Tasters on Tequila Matchmaker describe flowers, minerals, citrus, cooked agave, white pepper and mint on the nose, with citrus, black pepper, brine, tangerine, honey and cinnamon on the palate and a soft, lingering finish. It launched alongside a four-month reposado in 2022 and is a highland tahona blanco built for sipping or for a clean, agave-forward margarita.
