The El Sabino rancho is located less than an hour from Teuchitlán, home to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Los Guachimontones—an archaeological site known today for its enormous circular pyramids (as featured in the Lagrimas del Valle logo). Known for its exceedingly high-quality agave, this parcel sits at 1,261 meters above sea level, and the agave yields an impressive 40% brix level at maturity. The 2023 Reposado displays aromas of candied orange peel, brown butter, and a hint of cinnamon with a rich palate highlighting notes of stone fruit and vanilla.
