Paso Uno

New Mexico wines made from grapes harvested at numerous New Mexico Vineyards were distilled in a 1,000 liter traditional Spanish copper alquitara (pot still). A slow and relatively low temperature single distillation run produces a spirit ranging between 65 – 70% ABV. It is then rested in stainless steel while being brought to 40% ABV (80 proof) for bottling. It is finished un-filtered to preserve the maximum amount of natural wine fruit and floral aromatics.

Fine Alembic Brandy

Distilled from American wines that are placed in our 1,000 liter copper alquitara from Hoga Stills of Spain. 75% of the wine is single distilled and 25% of the wine is double distilled resulting in a combined spirit of 70.5% ABV. This spirit is then brought to a barrel aging strength of 62.5% ABV before being placed into used oak barrels for a period of at least two years. To finish this brandy it spends another 4-6 months in Spanish Sherry casks before being lightly filtered and then brought to its final 40% ABV (80 proof) strength and bottled.
