Nuestra Soledad Sta. Ma. Zoquitlan
Santa María Zoquitlán espadín – another village on the Nuestra Soledad map
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Nuestra Soledad Mezcal
- Maestro: Ignacio Parada, Jose Parada Valera
- Region: Santa Maria Zoquitlan, Oaxaca
- Agave: Espadin
- ABV: 46%
- Price: $55 ($)
Verdict
Santa María Zoquitlán sits in a quieter register than the Nuestra Soledad stars (San Luis del Rio, San Baltazar, Lachigui). The village produces a softer, slightly sweeter espadín than the range's marquee villages – a legitimate profile, just less distinctive. Worth trying once for the range education; drinkers who enjoy the SLDR and San Baltazar bottles will find this one a quieter companion. Consensus 3.3 is close.
A sweeter village expression, for drinkers who find Matatlán too smoky
Tasting notes
Nose: Cooked agave with green apple
Palate: Clean and balanced, the village profile is a touch sweeter than its neighbors
Finish: Mineral, slightly sweet. Stays medium-long
The bottom line
A legitimate village bottling. Prioritize SLDR or San Baltazar first
