Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Brilliant clarity with platinum highlights, exhibiting elegant legs slowly cascading down the glass. Nose: An intriguing aromatic journey begins with fresh citrus and tropical fruit notes. Bright pineapple and ripe mango mingle with delicate orange blossom and jasmine floral elements. A subtle minerality provides structure while hints of vanilla bean and toasted nuts add complexity. The characteristic smoke presents as a gentle undercurrent rather than dominating the bouquet.
• Palate: Remarkably balanced, with an exquisite layering of flavors. The initial impression delivers sweet roasted agave and tropical fruit notes that evolve into warming baking spicescinnamon, clove, and cardamom. The mid-palate reveals earthy dimensions of wet stone, cacao, and subtle herbs. Each component of the agave makes its presence known at different moments, creating a fascinating journey across the palate.
• Finish: Long and contemplative, this wine perfectly balances sweetness and gentle smoke. Lingering notes of caramelized agave, dried fruit, and white pepper gradually fade, leaving a pleasant minerality that cleanses the palate. The farewell offers hints of dark chocolate and toasted almonds that invite another thoughtful sip.

Each bottle of Los Vecinos Ensamble No. 1 represents the collaborative spirit of the mezcaleros who carefully harvest each agave variety at optimal maturity. Following ancestral methods, the pias are slow-roasted in earthen pits lined with volcanic rock, crushed by traditional tahona wheel, naturally fermented in wooden vats, and double-distilled in copper pots to preserve their intricate flavor profiles.
