HISTORY

Where the Land Gives Life to Tequila

In the heart of the Highlands of Jalisco, in the municipality of Arandas, Real de México is born—a brand that has become a symbol of tradition and authenticity in Mexican tequila. Its story begins with the vision of its founder, an agave grower at heart, whose life has been deeply connected to the land and the cultivation of blue agave, an emblematic plant that represents the soul of an entire region.

Over the years, this deep connection to the land and the knowledge passed down from generation to generation gave life to a tequila that honors its roots. Real de México is not just a beverage; it is the reflection of a family legacy, a meticulous artisanal process, and a profound respect for tequila culture.

Every drop is a testament to the passion, effort, and pride of a community that has made agave its way of life. Here, where the sun matures the fields and the land preserves the character of the Highlands, a tequila is born that honors its name: real, authentic, and Mexican.

The Origin of Our Flavor

From the earliest years working in the agave fields, love for this plant transformed into passion. Blue agave, which grows slowly under the sun of the Arandas region, cultivated over time a special relationship with its producers. More than a simple resource, agave became a living heritage, passed down from generation to generation.

Our tequila is crafted from mature agave grown in the Highlands of Jalisco. This region is characterized by mineral-rich soils and cool temperatures, influenced by cold nights that allow the agave to absorb carbon dioxide and store carbohydrates. In addition, the fertile red and deep brown soils retain moisture, enabling the plant to withstand long periods of drought. As a result, tequilas produced in this land are naturally sweeter and display tropical flavor notes.

PRODUCTION PROCESS BLUE AGAVE CULTIVATION Everything begins in the fields of Jalisco, where Tequilana Weber Blue Agave is cultivated for 6 to 8 years. During this time, the plant develops its heart, or piña, accumulating the natural sugars that will eventually give birth to tequila. The honest work of skilled hands that keep tradition alive. Quality HARVESTING (JIMA) HARVESTING (JIMA) PRODUCTION PROCESS Once mature, the jimador cuts away the agave leaves (pencas) using the traditional steel coa, exposing the piña. This manual process requires precision, experience, and a deep understanding of the plant. The honest work of skilled hands that keep tradition alive. BLUE AGAVE CULTIVATION COOKING PRODUCTION PROCESS The piñas are slowly cooked in masonry ovens or autoclaves to convert their starches into fermentable sugars. This step defines part of the aromatic profile and the natural sweetness of the tequila. COOKING Fire reveals the natural sweetness of agave. HARVESTING (JIMA) MILLING PRODUCTION PROCESS Once cooked, the agave is crushed to extract its juice—known as fresh mosto. Traditionally, this is done using a stone tahona or mechanical mills. This liquid contains the sugars that will later be fermented. MILLING From the heart of the agave is born the liquid essence of tequila. COOKING FERMENTATION PRODUCTION PROCESS The mosto is placed in wooden vats or stainless steel tanks, where natural yeasts transform the sugars into alcohol. This process lasts several days and is essential in defining the aromas and flavor notes of the final product. Patience and time: the secrets of authentic fermentation. FERMENTATION MILLING DISTILLATION PRODUCTION PROCESS The fermented liquid undergoes two distillations in copper or stainless steel stills.
The first distillation (ordinario) removes impurities.
The second distillation (rectification) provides purity, clarity, and the true character of the tequila. Where science and tradition meet. FERMENTATION DISTILLATION AGING PRODUCTION PROCESS The tequila is rested in white oak barrels for months or years, developing an amber color along with notes of wood, vanilla, and spices.
Blanco: unaged, pure and bright.
Reposado: aged from 2 to 12 months in barrels.
Añejo: aged from 1 to 3 years.
Extra Añejo: aged for more than 3 years. Each day in the barrel is a story written over time. DESTILATION FILTRATION AGING PRODUCTION PROCESS Finally, the tequila is filtered, adjusted, and bottled with precision to ensure its quality. Every bottle of Tequila Real de México is carefully inspected before reaching the market. A commitment to excellence in every detail.
