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.

Del Maguey Mezcal Single Village Wild Tepextate offers a truly distinctive tasting experience. It begins with an inviting aroma that immediately captivates the senses. The nose is filled with the bright and enticing scent of candied fruits, reminiscent of banana taffy and spun sugar. As you take your first sip, you'll be welcomed by a delicate sweetness that gracefully dances on your palate. Notes of ripe passion fruit and marzipan emerge, providing a harmonious balance of fruity and nutty flavors. In the background, there's a subtle hint of cinnamon, which derives from the use of canela, organic Mexican sugar. This cinnamon note adds depth and complexity to the overall profile, enhancing the mezcal's character. Completing the tasting experience are subtle, ethereal floral notes of honeysuckle, which add a refreshing and aromatic dimension to the mezcal.
