Siembra Alteño Blanco comes from the highlands of Los Altos in Jalisco. It is a joint project between David Suro and master distiller Carlos Camarena. Suro has championed traditional agave spirits since opening his Philadelphia restaurant decades ago. The two old friends made it at the Camarena family's La Alteña distillery in Arandas.
Everything here is done the slow way. Mature blue Weber agave roasts for three days in brick ovens. A roller mill crushes it, and the juice ferments with wild yeast in open pine vats. It is then distilled twice in copper pots, with agave fibers left in the first run.
No barrel touches it, and it is bottled at 92 proof. Like many traditional producers, Siembra makes it without additives.
In the glass you'll find lime zest, pineapple and sweet cooked agave. The texture is oily and a little grassy. Green apple, flowers and a buttery note show up next, with cinnamon, pepper and fennel. The finish is long and sweet, with a gentle peppery kick. VinePair scored it 94 points and called it blanco at its best.
Sip it neat at room temperature to catch every layer. It also makes a lively Margarita when you want the agave to lead. Try it with ceviche, grilled fish, citrus salads or goat cheese.
