Agua del Sol Tobala - Berta Vasquez

Verdict

Berta Vásquez's range demonstrates that producer discipline isn't a constant across agaves, her espadín is defines the upper tier, her tobalá at 45% is credible mid-tier work. The hand that nails cultivated espadín is not always the hand that nails wild tobalá, and Agua del Sol lets the distinction show rather than papering over it. Buy her espadín first; this one second if you want the full range.

Tasting notes

Nose: Wildflower, sweet smoke, ripe citrus

Finish: Floral, clean. Long

The bottom line

A legitimate mid-tier tobalá
