Fortaleza — the annual limited release from Tequilera La Fortaleza in the Jalisco highlands, one of Mexico's most respected traditional tequila producers and a benchmark for additive-free, tahona-milled production.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFortaleza produces tequila using a tahona — a large volcanic stone wheel pulled by a horse or donkey to crush roasted agave — a method that predates modern mechanical shredding and produces a thicker, more textured agave pulp that carries more fiber character into the fermentation. The distillery in Tequila, Jalisco has operated continuously since the 1870s under the Sauza family's heritage, though the current Fortaleza brand was reestablished in 2005 under Guillermo Sauza.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Winter Blend is Fortaleza's annual limited release — a specific barrel selection or batch configuration that distinguishes it from the standard Reposado production. The 2025 edition continues the program's annual cadence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tequilera La Fortaleza, Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reposado Tequila, Tahona Milled, Additive Free\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e Winter Blend 2025\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/tequila\"\u003etequila at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Fortaleza different from standard tequila production?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fortaleza uses tahona milling — a volcanic stone wheel that crushes roasted agave — rather than modern mechanical shredding, producing a more textured, fiber-rich fermentation that carries additional agave character through distillation.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What makes Fortaleza different from standard production?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Tahona milling \\u2014 a volcanic stone wheel crushing roasted agave rather than mechanical shredding \\u2014 producing more textured, fiber-rich fermentation with additional agave character through distillation.\"}}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Fortaleza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42903583195207,"sku":"7502221966781","price":599.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/FortalezaReposadoTequilaWinterBlend2025.webp?v=1782400175","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/fortaleza-reposado-tequila-winter-blend-2025","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
