When the Spanish cut off water to indigenous lands, a guardian of the people, Uraján de Luna, defied the empire. He journeyed into the new empire and negotiated the restoration of water to his land and people. As a reminder of his courage and resilience, a spectral painting keeps the ancient temple of Jesús Nazareno sacred. Upon the same stone, the story of Cuero Viejo begins.
Cuero Viejo Plata Cenizo
Tasting Notes: Sweet vanilla, green apple, cooked agave, wood, and a hint of smoke.
Today, the modern day winery of Cuero Viejo is set beside the same hills Uraján once looked upon from his abode. The local legend believes that his spirit returns on the full moon night, cloaked in silver light. His sacrifice enriches the soil in which the agave plant grows, and his soul nourishes it. This is what sets Cuero Viejo apart. It is a mystical elixir, not just a mere spirit.
