Paladar Tempranillo Tequila
>> Return to the California Brands List
Authenticity rooted in the knowledge of five generations of distilling by the last independent of the founding families of tequila. Modernized by sustainability in production and sourcing from Jalisco, Mexico combined with unique packaging, having each bottle hand-dipped in the volcanic soil of our agave fields, and experimental expressions using rare wood finishing.
“When this project first began, this was my way to do something on my own. I come from a family that has been making tequila for five generations, so to start my own path in tequila was something I always wanted to do.”
– Eduardo Orendain Jr., Master Distiller & Co-Founder
Tempranillo
From the last of the independent founding families of tequila, Paladar is a homage to the traditions of Mexico. We harvest 7-Year Blue Weber agave from our own fields, which slow cooks in brick ovens and open-air pine-box ferments in wild and proprietary yeast. Each batch of Paladar is twice distilled in a copper and stainless steel pot blend. We celebrate this product of the earth with each bottle hand-dipped in the volcanic soil of our agave fields.
Paladar Tequila aged in a Tempranillo cask is a unique and intriguing spirit that combines the rich flavors of tequila with the influence of finishing for six months in an ex-Tempranillo wine barrel from Relieve, a producer in the Baja California region of Mexico. The barrel lends notes of raisins, red fruit and spiced pear. This release is limited to one cask of 66 cases only.
