In these open-air, wooden barrels, the agave mash begins to ferment naturally, with wild yeasts from the environment—carried on the wind, living in the wood, and present in the agave itself. This begins the slow transformation of sugars into alcohol.

$\"\"$

During fermentation, the complex sugars that were caramelized in the roasting process—are broken down into the simpler sugars fructose and glucose. These are then consumed by the wild yeasts and converted into ethanol (alcohol) and a rich spectrum of aromatic compounds.

This natural process can take anywhere from a few days to over a week, depending on factors like weather, altitude, and agave variety. The wooden vats are porous and alive with microflora, allowing subtle interactions between the mash and its environment. This imparts an incredible depth and individuality to the flavor of the mezcal.

Our maestro monitors the process closely, tasting, listening to know just when the mash has reached the perfect balance of aroma, taste, and strength.

The harvested agave hearts (piñas) are then layered inside the pit, covered with dried agave fibers, soil, and left to slow-roast for about a week. This low, smoldering heat caramelizes the natural sugars, unlocking the deep earthy notes that defines great mezcal. The slow roast ensures even caramelization, prevents bitterness while releasing natural sugars in the agave.

This cooking method is not rushed. It is carefully monitored and checked multiple times throughout the cook. Time, patience and Miguels’ intuitive and studied skills all work toward a magical alchemy, resulting in exceptional mezcales. After they are cooled, we crush the roasted pińas with a crushing machine instead of using the traditional method off a horse or donkey pulling a heavy wheel in a tight circle for hours.

Our maestro mezcalero, Miguel, certified as a regenerative agricultural specialist, personally ensures that only sustainable agaves are harvested for our mezcales- including espadín, cuishe, mexicano, and the revered tepeztate. Each variety is chosen for its flavor complexity and unique growing cycles, and as importantly, for their ability to be harvested responsibly.

Our commitment begins in the field where each agave is hand-selected and harvested with care, ensuring the maturity of the plant and the health of the surrounding ecosystem. No shortcuts, no machines and no harvesting a agave before its time— Miguel uses generational knowledge and studied agricultural wisdom.
