Agave
100% sustainably farmed, hand-harvested highland blue weber agave.
Cooking
Stone / brick ovens.

Fermentation (Mozart Method)
Using open-air stainless steel tanks, agave fibers from the milling process are added back to fermentation to enhance complexity. Classical music is played during fermentation to stimulate the yeast, so it dances.

The proprietary Vivanco Ranch 800-foot-deep well is rich in terroir expressive minerality.
Bottling
