Agave

100% sustainably farmed, hand-harvested highland blue weber agave.

Cooking

Stone / brick ovens.

Milling

Yeast

Dual batches are prepared with two unique yeasts, wild & Champaign yeasts, resulting in distinct yet complementary flavor profiles.

Fermentation (Mozart Method)

Using open-air stainless steel tanks, agave fibers from the milling process are added back to fermentation to enhance complexity. Classical music is played during fermentation to stimulate the yeast, so it dances.

Maturation

Aged two months in American White Oak and one month in French Oak.

The proprietary Vivanco Ranch 800-foot-deep well is rich in terroir expressive minerality.
