He learned alongside his father, Sergio, started leading his own production in 2015 (he also founded the Gozona brand), and has earned international recognition for his mastery of the refrescadera. Luis is known as an experimenter: his pineapple and red-fruit pechugas are creations other maestros now follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pechuga begins with an exceptional Espadín shaped by southern Oaxaca's Central Valleys — warm days, cool nights, mineral-rich soils — then is redistilled with red fruits (\"frutos rojos\"), which the label shows tumbling around the agave: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and more.
