NETA Mexicano Verde and Bicuixe

A quieter NETA – the pairing asks for patience

Score: 3.5/5 agaves

NETA Mexicano Verde and Bicuixe bottle
  • 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
