CUPREATA AND ESPADÍN

Freshness, minerality, and two agaves in balance

Viviente Cupreata + Espadín opens fresh and clean, with a profile led by minerality and citrus.

The character of this blend lets each agave bring something different: Espadín heightens the mineral expression, while Cupreata adds citrus and herbal vibrancy.

The result is a fresh, balanced mezcal with very low sweetness and mineral, citrus, herbal, earthy, and spiced notes.

Appearance

Crystal clear and clean.

Nose

Mineral notes of flint and wet stone appear first, followed by the herbal freshness of eucalyptus and a light minty hint.

The citrus side recalls mandarin and orange peel, over an earthy background of clay and a touch of white pepper.

Palate

The entry is fresh and clean.

Minerality takes center stage, with hints of clay and flint. Sweetness is very low, leaving only a light trace of cooked agave.

Mandarin and orange peel add freshness, along with notes of pine needles, damp earth, and white pepper.

The final balance brings together the minerality of Espadín and the citrus and herbal vibrancy of Cupreata.

With its minerality, low sweetness, citrus, and herbal notes, we recommend exploring this blend with:

• fish and seafood;
• ceviches and citrus-based dishes;
• grilled vegetables;
• fresh cheeses;
• dishes with aromatic herbs;
• dishes with fresh chile or moderate spice.

The idea is to complement the freshness and minerality of the blend, avoiding overly sweet dishes that could overpower its profile.
