On January 26, 2023 at 2:48 p.m., we had a fire alert on one of our security cameras, the terroir was on fire, we imagined the worst, that the harvest was completely lost, fortunately the vast majority of our agaves resisted, Carrying out agriculture in an organic way takes great risks, since as part of the norm we must allow coverage in the beds, that is, having grassland in the corridors of the terroir, in the dry season it is highly risky since any fathom can spread the fire, this is what happened to us, these risks are worth taking if it is for the good of the planet and all the living beings that depend on it, You can visit some of our organic terroirs in the following link >

SAVING THE AGAVE!
We had very little time, since the fire after
a few days causes the agave to harden,
fortunately the agave was in its full stage
in year 7 and resisted this inclemency,
when we made the measurements with
the (Brix) we realized that the level was
above 40, something very good was
coming, a big batch.
Matured in glass for more than 280 days, providing an silkiness you have never experienced in a tequila before.

WILD YEAST
From #BatchCeniza we decided to work with wild yeasts (wild) we made this decision to leave the original characteristics of the agave intact, that is, to drag the contribution of the terroir to the limit. Batch Siembra was fermented in the winter season, which allowed us to lengthen the fermentation time, thus gaining a greater amount of aromas and flavors. At Casa Santanera we distill micro batches that leave an organic and unrepeatable testimony of when they were produced.
DOUBLE AND TRIPLE BLEND
Casa Santanera was the first tequila in the world to produce an blend between cuts, which brings elegance and complexity to our organic collection. The first aromas that #BatchCeniza is revealing are sweet with a touch of burnt vanilla caramel.
SONIC HARMONIZATION
From the fermentation process we expose to classical music by Mozart 24/7, we have verified that music causes a more dynamic and harmonious movement in the yeast, which results in the creation of new and better aromas.
