Mineral Character of the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca and Dry Profile
The Mezcal Nuestra Soledad Valles Centrales 750 ml is part of the Nuestra Soledad line, created by the renowned Casa Mezcalera Cortés, a mezcal-making family from Oaxaca with over a century of tradition. This line pays tribute to the Virgin of Soledad, patron saint of the city of Oaxaca, and seeks to showcase the terroir of the producing communities of the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca, Mexico. Crafted with 100% Agave Espadín (Agave angustifolia), this artisanal mezcal has a dry profile: no added sugars or flavorings. Its traditional process includes cooking the agave in a wood-fired conical earth oven, milling in a tahona, fermenting with native yeasts, and distilling in a copper still. The result is a clean, mineral distillate with tropical fruits, citrus, and a soft smoke. Purchase it with a guarantee of authenticity at LaCava.shop.
