Review: Gonzalez 1939 Tequila Blanco
Gonzalez 1939 Tequila Blanco is named in honor of Ramona and Francisco Gonzalez who married in 1939 and raised 12 children who worked beside them on their agave farm. Soon a tequila company was born. Today their children and grand children continue the tradition. Gonzalez 1939 is one of four tequila brands produced at Altos Cienega Unidos. 3 Amigos is another and both are sold primarily at Total Wine and More. Gonzalez 1939 is made with agave hand planted and hand picked at the peak of ripeness in the dry season for maximum sweetness. The trimmed pinas are brick oven cooked for 24 hours and the extracted juice is fermented with organic yeast in stainless steel tanks. The spirit is distilled at low temperature in stainless pot stills. Read more
