The La Gritona Reposado Tequila Half Bottle (375ml) is an agave-forward reposado produced in Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco, Mexico from 100% mature Blue Weber agave grown in the iron-rich soils of the Jalisco Highlands. The nose shows fresh cooked agave, green vegetal notes and citrus, with the restrained barrel influence allowing the character of the agave to remain at the centre.
On the palate, it is crisp and herbaceous with light natural sweetness, fresh agave and subtle spice. The tequila is naturally fermented, double distilled and rested for six months in repeatedly used American whiskey barrels, deliberately limiting heavy oak character while rounding the texture. Bottled at 40% ABV, it finishes clean, balanced and gently drying.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, La Gritona is a distinctive choice for those exploring reposado tequila with less emphasis on sweet vanilla and heavy oak flavours. The compact 375ml half bottle is also a useful format for discovering the style. Serve neat or use in classic tequila-based cocktails, and pair with grilled prawns, fish tacos, charred corn, ceviche or Mexican-inspired dishes.
