Cultivation
In Bioagrotecnia del Pacífico®, the sole supplier of agaves for Destilería Casa de Piedra, agave is cultivated without the use of herbicides, fungicides or fertilizers. With a process that protects the soil, the ecosystem that surrounds it and, of course, the purity of the tequila.

Harvest
Having previously selected them, we harvest agaves when they turn between seven and eight years old, time it takes to reach their perfect maturity. We leave in the field the residual vegetable bedding to use as natural fertilizer, therefore preserving the earth.

Cleaning
We then take the piñas (agave hearts) to the distillery in order to properly wash them thoroughly and eliminate residues like soil, insects, or other elements that can alter the flavor and the properties of the tequila.

Cooking
After splitting them in half or in pieces, we place them in stone lined ovens, designed specifically for this process, cooked in pressurized steam for 24 hours at a temperature of 203 degrees Fahrenheit.

Milling
Once cooked, we let the agaves cool at room temperature. After, we mill and press them four different times in order to extract the exact portion of juice and syrups.

Fermentation
We transport the juice to fermentation tanks, where we add especially selected yeast by Casa de Piedra that adds a personal and distinctive touch to the tequila’s flavor.

Distillation
Once finished with the fermentation process, we distill the mix in our stills in order to remove impurities and refine its body. Afterwards, we pass the liquid through a second distillation in order to obtain premium tequila.

Bottling
After making sure that it complies with the different rigorous quality controls, we bottle the tequila by hand.
Our expert taster
In Casa de Piedra we have challenged and encountered our own perfection thanks to Gabriel Espíndola, our Master tequilier, whom in his more than 40 years of industry experience has rediscovered the natural concept of the tequila starting with his organoleptic curiosity and passion for excellence.
