Description
Lagrimas del Valle 2022 “El Chiqueño” from near Amatitán, Jalisco sits adjacent to “Palo Verde” at about 1,260m above sea level with the agaves harvested at an average of 32% brix content.
El Chiqueño is located South of the Rio Santiago and settled in a low ravine. Its climate is very hot, which has allowed for the growth of mangoes and ciruela – a local varietal of plum with bright acidity. The Plata showcases bold and assertive notes of cooked agave, fresh citrus oil, and nice minerality. The Reposado has a bold and angular profile with notes of canela, ripe mango, and subtle caramel – finishing bright and full with a lightly sweet character.
