The Pink Reposado from Napa Wine Barrels
La Santa's Rosa takes a different path from the usual reposado: instead of whiskey oak, the tequila rests six months in Napa Valley red-wine barrels, picking up its blush colour naturally from the wine-soaked wood along with a layer of red-fruit softness over the agave. The result is a reposado that looks like a rose wine and drinks like a proper Jalisco reposado. Explore the La Santa collection, more tequila, and the spirits shelves at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Pale rose-pink in the glass. Cooked agave and strawberry on the nose with vanilla and a hint of red wine tannin; the palate is soft and rounded — agave sweetness, raspberry, gentle oak spice — finishing smooth with a whisper of berry.
How to Enjoy
Chilled neat or over one large cube as an aperitif pour; it also makes a striking pink Paloma — grapefruit soda, lime, and a salted rim.
