Did someone say Tequila? Announcing Amate Tequila, now available through Angelini Wine Distributors
As a boutique distributor, our clients have trusted us for close to 29 years to be discerning in the finely selected choices of wines that we are known for. Now, in addition to wine and craft beers, we introduce a fine trio of Tequila by Amate.
Amate Tequila is a true work of passion, a lifelong family dream of Juan Carlos Jimenez. This special Tequila is handcrafted by Mexican artists who take pride in what they produce, each bottle represents their dedication to their craft and is a reflection of their culture. The Amate mission is to provide the smoothest Tequila in the world, a Tequila that you can sip, savor and celebrate with.
It all starts with the plant.
Amate Premium is produced only using 100% Weber Blue Agave keeping a family tradition of only using the best Blue Agave possible. The family also utilizes new cutting edge techniques in the processing and refinement of each Tequila.
Slow cooking of the agave plant in brick ovens combined with a natural aerobic fermentation process and a two time tower distillation is what maintains the incredible smooth distinctive taste you are sure to find in every sip of Amate Tequilas.
The factory is located in Zapopan, Jalisco – nearby is a deep well used to slow distillation and filtering. The Tequila is then aged in American oak barrels.
The founders of Amate are both hands on and personally taste and approve every single batch produced.
