Fuenteseca Cosecha Blanco Tequila 2020
45.7% ABV (91.4 proof) | 750mL | Cosecha 2020 vintage | NOM 1146, La Tequileña | Single-orchard agave, rested 5 years in stainless — the Fuenteseca Cosecha Blanco 2020 is vintage-dated tequila from a single agave harvest: Pinto Blue Weber agave grown in the La Tuna de Arriba orchard (Cerro Gordo, San Ignacio), steam-roasted and copper-pot distilled at La Tequileña (NOM 1146), then rested five years in stainless steel before bottling at 91.4 proof. A blanco with the patience of an añejo — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Fuenteseca is the agave project of the Fonseca family, and "Cosecha" is its defining idea: like wine, each vintage captures one harvest from one orchard. The 2020 cosecha spent five years resting in stainless — not oak, so no wood influence, just time softening the spirit — before being bottled at a robust 91.4 proof. Retailer copy describes it as additive-free. Among blancos, this is the connoisseur's pick: terroir, vintage and patience in a category built for speed.
Tasting notes
Importer and release notes describe an intense, mineral blanco: cooked agave and white pepper up front, citrus oil and green herbs, with a saline, almost savory mid-palate from the single-orchard agave. Five years of stainless rest rounds the edges without adding oak — the finish is long, warm and agave-pure at 91.4 proof. No official distillery tasting notes were published — describe from importer/retailer copy only.

Frequently asked questions
What does "Cosecha" mean?
"Harvest" — each Fuenteseca Cosecha is vintage-dated to a single agave harvest from a single orchard, like a vintage wine. This bottle is the 2020 harvest.
Is it really 91.4 proof?
Yes — 45.7% ABV per the official Terranova importer tech sheet (not the standard 80 proof). Photo-check the label to confirm.
Who makes Fuenteseca?
The Fonseca family's project, distilled at La Tequileña (NOM 1146) in the town of Tequila — not at Cascahuín. Do not confuse the two.
