Lagrimas del Valle La Loma Plata Tequila (2024 Vintage) is a single ranch, terroir-driven blanco tequila that captures the soul of the agave plant in its purest form. Distilled in partnership with the esteemed Rosales family of Tequila Cascahuin, this high-proof plata expression is the fourth field release in the brand’s acclaimed vintage series and the first from Michoacán, grown at 1,540 meters elevation in the Rancho La Loma in Villamar.
Made from 100% Blue Weber Agave, La Loma Plata is bottled at 46% ABV to preserve the bold aromas, vibrant minerality, and layered flavor created by the intermittent 4-day steam cooking, dual-crush extraction (70% roller mill, 30% tahona), and open-air fermentation. Each bottle is a celebration of terroir, transparency, and tradition—crafted without additives, sweeteners, or filtration.
