Luna Malvada Plata Tequila
Luna Malvada Plata Tequila – Full Moon-Harvested Blanco from Southern Jalisco
Luna Malvada Plata Tequila is a rare and extraordinary blanco tequila born from one of Mexico's most distinctive and newly rediscovered agave-growing regions — the Tropical Dry Forests of Southern Jalisco, near the small town of Villa Purificación, at the foothills of the Colima Volcanoes. This is not your typical Jalisco Highlands or Lowlands tequila — it is something genuinely different, rooted in ancestral tradition and an uncompromising commitment to terroir.
It took the creators of Luna Malvada years to find the ideal land — the perfect blend of optimal sunlight, natural irrigation, and the most fertile volcanic soil in the region. Eight years after planting, their specialized Blue Weber Agave reached peak maturity, delivering what may be the smoothest, most original, and most flavorful blanco tequila available.
The Land
The Tropical Dry Forests of Southern Jalisco — a lush, green, bio-diverse region combining rich red volcanic soils with increased organic activity ideal for natural agave growth. This region retraces agave harvesting and distillation to its ancestral roots near the Colima foothills.
The Agave
100% Premium Blue Weber Agave (Agave Tequilana Weber Var. Azul), optimized from the original wild strains native to this region. Harvested only during the full moon cycle for the highest quality and juice content.
The Process
Hand-selected, estate-grown agave harvested at peak maturity. Slow cooking and slower cooling to effectively convert the high sugar content. Double distilled and slow, gravity-flow filtered for exceptional purity and smoothness.
