Sotol Parejo Leiophyllum from la familia Arrieta is produced by the Arrieta brothers who are 5th generation vinateros. This Sotol is produced using 100% wild Dasylirion leiophyllum at the vinata in Chorreras, Aldama, Chihuahua.
The climate in this region is extremely arid, with little precipitation. The plants take about 15 years to reach maturity. Once harvested, they are roasted in an underground pit over for 3 days and then crushed by hand with axes. The fermentation takes 7-10 days with ambient yeasts. They are distilled in copper alembic stills.
Look for aromas of chocolate, dried chilis, and clay. Look for tasting notes of charred nuts, pineapple, and bitter greens.
