Convite Esencial - Mezcal - 40%
Convite is an exceptional Mezcal produced in Oaxaca, Mexico, a region renowned for its high-quality artisanal spirits. This family-owned house, preserving a unique know-how for 5 generations, is firmly committed to sustainable development, fair trade, and supporting its local community. Crafted in the heart of the majestic Zapotec mountains of San Baltazar Guelavila, in the Tlacolula district, this mezcal benefits from a pristine natural environment nestled in the Sierra Madre del Sur, an area of great ecological diversity with its mountains, waterfalls, and pure water springs located at 1900 meters altitude.
The agaves, rigorously selected at their optimal maturity, are carefully prepared: only the leaves and roots are removed to keep only the heart, called piña. The cooking is done with oak wood, ensuring distillation without contamination or excessive smoky taste. The crushing is carried out using a traditional stone circular grinder, thus preserving the authentic aromas. Natural fermentation is achieved thanks to the crystalline water from the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains. Finally, continuous distillation takes place in copper stills, ensuring the perfect extraction of the unique flavors of this artisanal mezcal.
