Tepextate (Agave marmorata) is among the longest-maturing wild agave varietals — typically 25–30+ years — producing one of the most prized and rare single-varietal mezcal expressions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTepextate is found in rocky, mountainous Oaxacan terrain, with the long maturation cycle producing exceptionally complex flavor development. The wild varietal mezcal category has surged in interest because of expressions like this — distinctly more elegant, mineral, and structurally complex than mass-market Espadin. Cruz de Fuego’s fully traditional production chain preserves the rare wild varietal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margarita Blas \u0026amp; Carlos Mendez (Productores del Buen Agave), Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Artesanal — Tepextate (Agave marmorata, wild-harvested, 25–30+ years to maturity)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthen-oven cooked, stone tahona, wood-fermented, copper pot double-distilled\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003emezcal at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cruz de Fuego","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42904200577095,"sku":"SK 816136021310","price":96.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/CruzFuegoMezcal.jpg?v=1782422901","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/cruz-de-fuego-tepextate","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
