Lagrimas del Valle El Sabino Plata Tequila Single Ranch 2023 Vintage

Lagrimas del Valle El Sabino Plata is a single ranch, vintage tequila that celebrates the terroir of its origin with striking clarity and complexity. Distilled in collaboration with the Rosales family of Cascahuin, this 2023 vintage Plata (blanco) tequila is sourced exclusively from the El Sabino ranch near Teuchitlán, Jalisco—home to the UNESCO-recognized Guachimontones pyramids.

Bottled at 46% ABV, Lágrimas El Sabino delivers a high-proof, full-flavored tequila experience that showcases the natural richness of 100% Blue Weber agave. Each bottle represents a “Rancho Único” (Single Ranch) philosophy, where every vintage is harvested from a unique agave field to express the distinct soil, elevation, and sun exposure of that plot—proving that terroir matters in tequila.

Crafted using a rare 4-day intermittent steam oven cooking method, and fermented using both roller mill and tahona-crushed agave, El Sabino offers deep vegetal, herbal, and mineral notes for a true expression of Valley tequila.
