The Highland Half of a Two-Terroir Project
Siembra Azul began in 2005 as restaurateur and agave advocate David Suro-Piñera's own tequila — and it was conceived as half of an experiment: the same founder's vision, split across Mexico's two great agave terroirs. Azul is the highlands half, distilled at Feliciano Vivanco y Asociados (NOM 1414) in Arandas from estate-grown Los Altos agave. The process reads like a love letter to traditional methods — brick ovens, a roller mill, a near-eight-day fermentation with champagne yeast (serenaded, per brand lore, by classical music), no fibers, and copper pot stills with only the center cuts kept. The result is the pristine, floral, herbaceous style the highlands are famous for. Taste its lowland twin, the Siembra Valles Blanco, side by side — or browse more tequila from Jalisco.
Tasting Notes
The nose is cooked agave, citrus, white flowers, pear, and green apple. The palate is light, zesty, and clean — agave, lime, white pepper, and fresh florals. The finish is fresh and invigorating.
How to Enjoy
Serve chilled in a proper tequila glass to catch the highland aromatics. A blanco this clean elevates a Margarita or Ranch Water, but it is at its best sipped — the highland half of the two-terroir project deserves a straight pour.
