Process & Profile

Convite Mezcal Tepextate is an ancestral-style mezcal produced in Oaxaca using traditional methods that emphasize agave expression and terroir. Crafted from 100% wild Tepextate (Agave marmorata), a slow-growing agave that can take decades to reach maturity, this mezcal reflects depth, complexity, and rarity. The agaves are roasted in underground pit ovens, crushed using a stone tahona, naturally fermented, and distilled using traditional techniques that preserve the earthy, mineral-driven character of the agave. The result is a mezcal with pronounced structure, layered aromatics, and a long, expressive finish.
