Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Fortaleza Reposado begins with the selection and harvesting of mature blue agave plants. The piñas, or agave hearts, are slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens, crushed, and then naturally fermented. The resulting juice is double distilled in copper pot stills, emphasizing traditional methods that contribute to the tequila's character.

After distillation, Fortaleza Reposado is aged in American oak barrels for a minimum of two months, allowing it to take on a subtle golden hue and gain complexity from the wood. This aging process imparts a nuanced flavor profile to the tequila.

In terms of appearance, Fortaleza Reposado exhibits a pale gold color, a visual testament to its time spent in oak. The nose is greeted with a delightful blend of aromas, including vanilla, caramel, and a touch of spice, complementing the agave's natural sweetness.

On the palate, Fortaleza Reposado offers a harmonious fusion of flavors. The smooth and velvety texture carries forward the essence of agave sweetness, balanced by the mellowing influence of oak. Subtle notes of dried fruit, cinnamon, and a touch of pepper contribute to a well-rounded and enjoyable taste experience.
