Fortaleza Blanco Lote No. 100: Craftsmanship and Tradition in a Bottle
Heritage and Origin
Fortaleza Blanco Lote No. 100 begins with the cultivation of mature blue Weber agave plants, carefully selected from the family’s estate in Tequila Valley. These agave piñas, or hearts, are harvested by hand, a testament to Fortaleza’s commitment to traditional methods that prioritize quality over quantity. Once harvested, the piñas are slowly baked in traditional stone ovens, allowing the sugars to caramelize and develop complex flavors.
Artisanal Production Methods
The production of Fortaleza Blanco Lote No. 100 adheres strictly to time-honored techniques that have been passed down through generations. After baking, the cooked agave piñas are crushed using a tahona stone wheel, extracting the sweet juice that will become tequila. This juice, known as mosto, is fermented naturally in wooden vats, using airborne yeasts unique to the Tequila Valley. This natural fermentation process preserves the agave’s distinct flavors and ensures a tequila of exceptional quality and character.
Distillation and Bottling
Following fermentation, Fortaleza Blanco Lote No. 100 undergoes double distillation in copper pot stills, a method that refines the spirit while preserving its natural essence. The tequila is then rested briefly in stainless steel tanks before being hand-bottled in small batches. Each bottle is individually labeled, signed, and numbered, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship that defines Fortaleza tequila.
