For us the "terroir" is everything, for this reason we created the term "Single Agaveyard®", since each of our batches are the product of an organic agave planted in a specific and delimited land for its later "Jima" (The process of cutting the agave consists of eliminating the leaves and root of the agave to leave only the heart or pineapple), thus allowing the agave not only to be expressed, but also its origin. In Santanera we never mix agaves of different plantations or ages, this guarantees our supreme quality in perpetuity.

HAND CLEANING
OUR PLANTATIONS

The industry uses aggressive chemicals to control the growing of weeds or grasslands around the agave, the bad thing about it is that these type of practices erode the earth by the aggressiveness of them, we prefer doing it by hand agave by agave although this implies higher costs in the maintenance of each terroir.

Santanera's Plantation

99% of the industry uses a separation between agaves that oscillates between 60 cm to 1.00 mt. We have verified that the ideal distance is 1.4 mt since this way we avoid that the plants compete for the minerals of the earth.

Only 1% of the industry grows organic agave because of the complexity involved and the risk of contamination. The care of an organic plantation is carried out in a 100% natural way, contrary to the industry that abuses the use of pesticides or chemicals to alter the growth of the plant.
