100% Wild Jabali – Santa Maria Albarradas
Jabali (A. convallis) is a notoriously challenging plant with which to work. At every step of the production process after the roasting the plant will foam due to a high quantity of a chemical compound that naturally occurs in agave. Thus it is no surprise that Del Maguey Wild Jabali comes to us from the talented hands of the producer of our Tobala, Tepextate, and Espadin Especial.
On the nose, Del Maguey Wild Jabali offers notes of fresh figs, baked apples, star anise, and a hint of Parmesan rind. On the palate there is bright, beautiful acidity with high florals of sweet violets, herbal notes of tarragon, and a slight sandalwood finish.
