Quiquiriqui Tepeztate 700ml st-julien This wine will age nicelyTepeztate is only available seasonally, and grows wild around the state of Oaxaca. Its part of the Marmorata agave family and has a very distinct appearance (wide and twisted leaves with erratic structure). Despite all odds it seems to flourish best on the sides of steep, rocky cliffs and so its difficult to find and to gather. Widely considered the jewel in the crown of all Oaxacan agaves, Tepeztate can take as many as 30 years to mature in the wild.
