Fortaleza Reposado - Winter Blend 2021

Overview
Limited-edition, additive-free Reposado tequila produced at Tequila Los Abuelos (NOM 1493). The 2021 Winter Blend is matured in French oak and wine casks before bottling at 46% ABV (92 proof).
Fortaleza Reposado – Winter Blend 2021 is the third annual release in Fortaleza’s acclaimed Winter Blend series, produced at Tequila Los Abuelos (NOM 1493) in Tequila, Jalisco. Crafted from mature Blue Weber agave grown in the Tequila Valley (Los Valles), this limited-edition expression combines Fortaleza’s traditional production methods with a unique barrel-aging program designed specifically for the 2021 release. The tequila is produced using traditional stone and brick ovens, tahona extraction, open-air fermentation in wooden tanks (pipones), and double distillation in copper pot stills using deep well water. Carefully selected reposado batches are matured in a combination of French oak barrels and used wine casks before being blended and bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof). Distilled at or near proof and produced without additives, Winter Blend 2021 offers exceptional depth with layers of cooked agave, oak, baking spice, dried fruit, and subtle wine-influenced character while maintaining Fortaleza’s signature agave-forward profile.
