Welcome to Domaine Franey Wines & Spirits - Where Great Taste Begins - Free Delivery to the Hamptons
A highly coveted, limited-edition small-batch tequila crafted at Destilería La Fortaleza (NOM 1493) in Tequila, Jalisco. Known for its complex multi-cask aging process and additive-free traditional production, this specific annual release stands out for its unique incorporation of rare Italian wine barrels.
Nose: Intense cooked agave and classic earthy minerality, fought over by vibrant aromas of tropical fruit, citrus peel, nutmeg, and a pronounced sweet, tart wine-cask influence. Over time, notes of tamarind and sour cherry develop in the glass.
Palate: A thick, creamy, and honeyed mouthfeel. It coats the palate with roasted agave, rich caramel, butterscotch, golden raisins, and a slight dash of white pepper.
Finish: Long, warming, and elegant. It offers a pleasant tannic complexity from the wood without being overly dry, ending with lingering baking spice, citrus zest, and agave sweetness
The Barrel Matrix: The final liquid consists of 60% classic Fortaleza Reposado aged in American oak, blended with 40% experimental French oak components.
The Experimental Components: Fortaleza took their unaged Still Strength tequila and aged it in Passito di Caluso barrels (a sweet Italian white wine made from dried straw/raisin grapes). A portion was aged for 6 months (first fill), and another portion for 5 months (second fill). Used Madeira casks were also utilized in the French oak profile.
Traditional Craft: It is produced using 100% estate-grown blue Weber agave, cooked in stone brick ovens, crushed with a traditional horse-drawn tahona volcanic stone wheel, and open-air fermented in wooden vats.
