Description
Wild Tepextate grows on rocky mountainsides in Mexico, sometimes clinging almost vertically to the terrain. Known botanically as Agave marmorata, it has broad, twisted leaves that can reach eight to ten inches across. Del Maguey brings this mountain agave into its Vino De Mezcal series, drawing on the producer's commitment to traditional mezcal making.
Candied fruit leads the nose, with banana taffy and spun sugar giving the aromas a confectionary character. The palate is delicately sweet. Ripe passion fruit brings a tropical note, while marzipan adds a nutty counterpoint. A little cinnamon sits behind the fruit. Honeysuckle adds a light floral detail to the combination of sweetness and spice.
Pour neat and sip slowly. A single large ice cube is another option, allowing gradual dilution as you work through the fruit, floral and spice notes.
