NETA Mexicano Verde and Bicuixe
A quieter NETA – the pairing asks for patience
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: NETA
- Maestro: Primitivo Vásquez
- Region: Miahuatlán
- Agave: Bicuishe, Mexicano Verde
- ABV: 46.3%
- Price: $70 ($$)
Verdict
Lean, bitter-edged, austere at 46.3%. This is a NETA we respect more than we love. The mexicano verde and bicuishe pairing is bold and specific, but the bottle feels like it's still finding its balance. A producer's sketch, not a finished statement.
Not every ensamble is about harmony
Tasting notes
Nose: Wet moss – then green herb, mineral damp, cooked pineapple skin
Palate: The two agaves don't exactly merge – they coexist, which is its own choice
Finish: Drying, cooling
The bottom line
A NETA to try, not necessarily to stock
