Description
Fidencio Tierra Blanca is a limited-release, unaged (Joven) mezcal celebrated for its deep minerality and unique “terroir”. Produced by Maestro Enrique Jiménez in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, this expression is only released once every nine years due to the rarity of its source material.
The Jiménez family discovered a small vein of chalky, white soil on their farm, and they planted 3 small batches of Espadin in the unique soil. The chalky, Champagne-esque soil gives this mezcal a deep minerality. Tierra Blanca is released only once every nine years!
