facilities
We are one of the top five tequila production plants that
have a greater bottling capacity and are preparing to comply
with the proposed reform to the law that will make it mandatory
for all tequila to be bottled at origin. This is currently
only required for 100% pure Agave tequila and optional for
all other tequilas.
100% natural process
We use totally natural processes to produce our tequila
and thus do not use any type of accelerator to reduce the
time of fermentation. The sufficiency of our capacity allows
us to work within the natural fermentation time frames and
not use chemical accelerators.
We cultivate our own agave yeast in our lab.
environmental impact
We have implemented the cleaner
production program that serves to guarantee a reduction
in pollution levels and environmental risks and is also
a sound business proposal. The efficient use of materials
and optimal processes generate less waste and reduce our
operating costs.
The implementation of this plan led us to open a plant to
treat the polluting distillation residues that basically
contain solids (organic materials and salts) and water known
as vinazas (residue in the dregs) and is an important pollutant,
both in terms of volume (one liter of tequila produces seven
to 11 liters of vinaza) and organic load (up to 60,000 ppm
of DQO) and a pH level below four.
Because our intelligence, our culture and our technology
have allowed us to dominate nature, we are also able to
use these same capacities to impose self-regulations and
self-limitations. This is our greatest challenge. We’ve
become incredibly successful as a technological species.
Our survival now depends on our capacity to become an ecological
species and take our proper place in the economy of nature.
