Rancho Tepúa produces Bacanora, an artisanal agave spirit from Sonora, Mexico, crafted using traditional methods passed down through five generations of the Contreras family. Made with 100% Agave Pacífica and roasted underground with mesquite wood, Rancho Tepúa Bacanora is distilled twice in copper stills and fermented with natural spring water.
This distinctive spirit carries notes of roasted agave, sandalwood, and cinnamon, capturing the rich cultural legacy and rugged landscape of Sonora's Sierra Madre mountains.
Producer
Rancho Tepúa, run by the Contreras family, has been producing Bacanora in Sonora, Mexico, for over a century. Established formally in 2006, Rancho Tepúa preserves traditional Bacanora-making methods, including harvesting agave with a "Jaíbica" ax, honoring the heritage of the Ópata indigenous people.
Despite Bacanora's 77-year prohibition in Sonora, the Contreras family maintained production, creating a legacy of artisanal Bacanora known for its earthy, herbaceous flavors that reflect Sonora's rich cultural and natural landscape.
