Lágrimas del Valle La Mesa del Charco Plata Tequila – 92 Proof (46% ABV) | 750ml Terroir-driven, expressive, and traditionally crafted, Lágrimas del Valle La Mesa del Charco Plata Tequila is a single-ranch vintage tequila created to showcase the unique characteristics of one exceptional agave estate in Jalisco. Bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this additive-free plata expression highlights the depth, complexity, and individuality that terroir can bring to tequila.
Process & Profile Produced in collaboration with the Rosales family at the legendary Tequila Cascahuín distillery, this expression comes from the La Mesa del Charco ranch located in El Arenal, Jalisco at an elevation of 1,469 meters. The agaves harvested for this release averaged an impressive 38% Brix, contributing exceptional richness and concentration to the final tequila. Lágrimas del Valle follows a "Vintage Rancho Único" philosophy, meaning each release comes from a single ranch harvested during a specific vintage year to intentionally highlight the distinct characteristics of that terroir. This approach mirrors traditional winemaking concepts where soil, elevation, climate, and farming practices influence flavor and aroma. The agaves are cooked in small steam-powered masonry ovens using Cascahuín's unique intermittent cooking method over four days, allowing deep flavor development. Fermentation takes place in open-air wooden tanks with agave fibers included, and the tequila is distilled before being bottled at 46% ABV — a proof chosen through extensive tasting panel evaluation.
Appearance Crystal clear with brilliant clarity, showcasing its unaged purity and vibrant agave character.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Fresh and aromatic with notes of cooked agave, citrus peel, floral tones, minerality, and soft herbal complexity.
Palate: Layered and expressive, revealing flavors of tangerine, clove, anise, white chocolate, dried cherries, almond, and rich cooked agave with a creamy texture and earthy undertones.
Finish: Long and structured with lingering spice, sweet agave, citrus zest, minerality, and subtle savory complexity.
