Fuenteseca Cosecha 2020 Huerta Singular Blanco Tequila

Vintage-dated. Single-estate. Single field. Fuenteseca Cosecha 2020 Huerta Singular Blanco — unaged blanco tequila from Blue Weber agave grown in a specific named huerta (orchard/field) in the Highland region of Jalisco, harvested in 2020 by Master Distiller Enrique Fonseca.

Fuenteseca is the project of Enrique Fonseca — one of the most respected agave farmers and distillers in Mexico, whose family has been growing Blue Weber agave in Jalisco for generations. Unlike most tequila producers who blend agave from multiple sources and harvest years, Fuenteseca takes a wine-like approach: vintage dating, single-estate sourcing, and in the Cosecha Huerta Singular program, single-field specificity. The "huerta singular" designation means this blanco was produced from agave grown in one specific named field, distinguishing it from even the broader single-estate Cosecha program.

The 2020 vintage reflects the specific character of that year's harvest — the agave ripeness, sugar concentration, and terroir expression of the named huerta in that growing season. Unaged blanco delivers these characteristics in their most direct form: the cooked agave flavors, the field's mineral character, and Fonseca's distillation craft without any barrel modification.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh cooked agave, citrus, and the mineral terroir character of Highland-grown Blue Weber — the single-field specificity evident in the focused aromatic profile.
• Palate: Clean and expressive — cooked agave sweetness, citrus zest, floral notes, and the distinctive Highland character that differentiates Los Altos agave from Lowland production.
• Finish: Clean and lingering — the terroir of the 2020 Huerta Singular harvest completing the expression.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Who is Enrique Fonseca? Enrique Fonseca is one of the most respected agave farmers and distillers in Mexico — a multi-generational Highland agave grower who produces tequila with a rigor typically associated with fine wine. His approach to vintage dating, single-estate sourcing, and field-level specificity is essentially unique in the tequila category.
• What is a Huerta Singular? Huerta means orchard or cultivated field in Spanish. The Huerta Singular designation means this tequila was produced from agave grown in a single, specifically identified field — taking single-estate sourcing one level deeper to the specific plot within the estate.
• Why does vintage matter in tequila? Agave plants take 7–12 years to mature. The specific year of harvest captures the character of that plant at that moment — weather conditions, sugar concentration, ripeness. Vintage dating allows consumers to track how different harvest years express the same field and production method differently.
• How does Highland (Los Altos) agave differ from Lowland? Highland Blue Weber agave grows at higher elevation in volcanic clay soil, developing sweeter, more floral, and more fruit-forward characteristics than Lowland agave from the Tequila Valley. Fuenteseca's estates are in the Highlands — the same terroir associated with the most complex and aromatic tequilas.
