OUR STORY

ROOTS & TRADITION

OAXACA IN EVERY STEP

La Manuela rises from a passion for Oaxaca: its culture, its people, its agaves. From the heart of the mountains to your glass, our story is a blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and love for the authentic.

A FAMILY LEGACY

Born as a family project, La Manuela is the fruit of generations that know the value of agave, the patience of the master mezcalero, and respect for the land. Today, that legacy is transformed into a contemporary proposal with an ancestral soul.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

1

Agave Selection

From the field, we select ripe agaves at their ideal maturity, guaranteeing flavor, aroma, and quality. We rigorously respect the natural growth cycles of the plant.

2

Artisanal Cooking

The agave is slowly cooked in traditional underground stone ovens, preserving its natural sugars, smoky aromas, and delicious ancestral nuances.

3

Traditional Milling

After cooking, the agave is milled using a stone wheel (tahona), a traditional method that respects the original essence of the agave and extracts all its juices.

4

Careful Fermentation

We ferment with wild yeasts in oak wood or clay vats, allowing the process its natural biological time, without artificial haste or shortcuts.

5

Artisanal Distillation

We distill in traditional copper or clay stills, carefully monitoring every stage to preserve the pure aromas and characteristic body of the distillate.

6

Filtration & Resting

Finally, the mezcal rests and is carefully filtered to remove any unwanted residue, guaranteeing crystal clarity, purity, and an authentic taste on the palate.

7

Bottling & Design

Each bottle of La Manuela Mezcal comes with its original label, meticulously taking care of the presentation, its strong brand identity, and a style that invites you to celebrate.
