OUR STORY

At the heart of Arquitecto Tequila is a dedication to quality and authenticity. Our journey begins with selecting the finest mature agave plants, handpicked by our experienced team under the guidance of Enrique Fonseca. As a fifth-generation agave farmer and master distiller, Enrique brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep respect for traditional tequila-making methods, ensuring that each batch of Arquitecto Tequila meets the highest standards.

AN EXTRAORDINARY TEQUILA

In the world of spirits, there exists a tequila that stands out for its lively essence and crisp character, embodying the subtle earthy tones and bright floral notes of Blue Weber Agave. This exquisite tequila captures the essence of the agave plant, offering a harmonious blend of flavors that dance on the palate.

Craftsmanship

Our meticulous production process reflects our commitment to excellence:

  • Low and Slow Cooking: We use an autoclave to cook the agave piñas slowly, preserving their natural sugars and enhancing the smooth, luxurious profile of our tequila.

  • Fermentation for Consistency: The cooked agave is then crushed, and the juice is fermented in large vats. This careful process ensures consistency and quality, bringing out the unique character of our tequila.

  • Triple Distillation Techniques: Our tequila is distilled using a combination of three techniques: copper pot, stainless steel, and column distillation. This innovative approach balances tradition with modernity, resulting in a refined and expressive tequila.

Pure and Additive-Free

Arquitecto Tequila is proudly additive-free. We celebrate the natural essence of the agave plant, offering a pure and unadulterated tequila experience. Our commitment to authenticity ensures that every sip of Arquitecto is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship that defines our brand.

THE RESPONSIBLE TEQUILA

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At Arquitecto, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in not only producing exceptional tequila but also in giving back to the land and communities that make it possible. Our dedication to sustainable practices is reflected in our collaboration with the S.A.C.R.E.D charity and our commitment to using mature agave.

Supporting S.A.C.R.E.D Charity

We are proud partners of S.A.C.R.E.D (Saving Agave for Culture, Recreation, Education, and Development), a charity dedicated to improving the lives of people in rural Mexican communities where agave is grown. S.A.C.R.E.D works tirelessly to support these communities through initiatives that promote education, culture, and sustainable agriculture. By working with S.A.C.R.E.D, we aim to give back to the very communities that are the backbone of the tequila industry.

Sustainable Agave Practices

At Arquitecto, we understand the importance of the agave plant in both our product and the environment. That’s why we are committed to using mature agave in our production process. Mature agave not only ensures the highest quality tequila but also supports best practices in land and plant care.

Mature agave plants have a more robust root system, which helps prevent soil erosion and promotes healthier soil. Additionally, using mature agave allows for more sustainable harvesting practices, ensuring that the land is not overexploited and can continue to produce for generations to come.

Caring for the Earth

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the agave fields. We implement eco-friendly practices throughout our production process, from utilizing renewable energy sources to reducing waste and recycling materials. We are continuously exploring innovative ways to minimize our environmental impact and ensure that our production methods are as sustainable as possible.

By choosing Arquitecto, you are not only enjoying a world-class tequila but also supporting a brand that values and practices sustainability. Together, we can raise our glasses to a greener, more sustainable future.
