Description
Cava de Oro is a Tequila of exceptional quality and flavor. It was founded by the Partidas family in El Arenal, Jalisco, where it remains to this day. Whilst the brand is still an underdog, for most of the production remaining in Mexico and only few bottles being available in USA and Canada so far, it is received as one of the outstanding agave spirits by dedicated Tequila enthusiasts worldwide.
Cava de Oro is produced at Tequilera Puerta de Hierro, operated by the 3rd generation of master Tequila craftsmen. Only 100% Blue Weber agave grown onsite is used to ensure the highest quality possible. It all begins with the harvest: the jimadores hand select 7- to 10-year-old agaves from both the Los Altos and Tequila valley regions of Jalisco. Once collected, the agave-hearts are cooked in traditional brick-ovens and then crushed by using artisanal methods. This mixture of cooked fruit, fibres and juices is put into open steel tanks and with the help of wild yeasts slowly fermented into “agave-wine”. Once the yeast converted all sugars into alcohol, the wine is double distilled in traditional pot stills, paired with three generations of Tequila making knowledge.
Extra Añejo is the most famous expression of Cava de Oro and successfully competed in various competitions. This exceptional Tequila matures an extra two years in addition to the typical three year minimum in barrels of french white oak, unfolding into an outstanding aromatic bonanza. The extra aging imbues Cava de Oro Extra Añejo with dark amber color and a complexity on the nose, including cinnamon, caramel, vanilla and nutmeg. A smooth and rich aroma emerges on the palate, accompanied by a hint of oak, but then gives way to a delicious range of sweet cinnamon and maple, with a delicately finish lingering. To be sipped neat or on the rocks.
