Guerrero
Wild Cupreata
Our original and most complex variety. It grows wild on the rocky slopes of the Balsas river basin, in the high mountains of Guerrero — the rocks give it minerals, time gives it character.
Tasting Notes
Earthy and mineral aroma, with a silky body when swirling the glass, light sweet flavor, with a subtle aftertaste of dark chocolate.

Origin — Artisanal palenque in continuous operation since 1949 in the sierra of Guerrero. The Cupreata agave — known locally as Papalote — is harvested wild, only at full ripeness, when sugar concentration is ideal. Every batch is supervised by our Maestros Mezcaleros, whose craft has been passed down through generations. 100 % handcrafted · 100 % organic.
