Mezcal Cupreata Don Mateo de la Sierra
  • Mezcal distilled in Pino Bonito, Michoacán
  • Maestro Mezcalero Emilio Vieyra
  • 100% Cupreata (Agave cupreata)
  • Cooked in a traditional conical earthen oven
  • Milled using a small mechanical grinder
  • Fermented naturally in underground, wood-lined cement tanks using spring water
  • Distilled in hybrid Filipino-style copper & wood stills
  • Distinct aromatics of anise & fennel, citrus zest, and fresh sage, with supporting notes of pine resin, lemongrass, vitamin C tablets, green apple, and peppercorn

The Vieyra family cultivates Agave cupreata in the temperate highlands above Morelia in a nursery maintained by Emilio’s mother, Doña Delia, before it is transplanted to the steep, pine forest slopes around the vinata. Distillation takes place slowly, over a prolonged period of around 36 hours, using a large Filipino-style still made from a copper pot below and a tapered cylinder above made from slats of pine and fir trees.
