THE LAND OF THE RAICILLA
The agaves of Hacienda el Divisadero are grown among the most emblematic landscapes of Jalisco, in the hills that preserve the essence of tradition and authenticity.
At a privileged altitude of 1000 meters above sea level, in the heart of Tuito, Jalisco, our agave pineapples are nourished by a soil rich in minerals and an ideal climate for their ripening.
​
A UNIQUE SOIL
Our soil is distinguished by its unique composition, enriched with minerals and nutrients that are essential for growing agave. Some of the key minerals present in this soil are iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium.
These minerals play a fundamental role in the development and optimal ripening of agave piñas, thus contributing to the quality and distinctive flavor of the raicilla produced at Hacienda el Divisadero.
​
HAND JIMADED
The agaves used for the production of the raicilla at Hacienda el Divisadero are grown during a growth cycle that can extend from 9 years to 16 years, allowing them to reach their maximum maturity and quality.
During this period, they are given special care to ensure optimal development. When the time for the jima arrives, a meticulous manual selection of the agaves is carried out, evaluating their maturity and sweetness.
This process is carried out agave by agave, ensuring that only agave pineapples are used at their optimal point of ripeness.
This attention to detail from cultivation to harvest guarantees the quality and excellence of the raicilla produced at Hacienda el Divisadero.
