Don Mateo Cupreata is made with semi-wild Cupreata agave by master mezcal maker Emilio Vieyra. The terroir of Michoacán is characterized by its rivers; the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, with its many active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes; and a variety of forests, from coniferous to tropical.The high-altitude climate is characterized by sandy soil and moderate rainfall.

The forest floor is soft, with pine needles, moss, and a sandy red clay; all elements that influence the aromatic profile of Don Mateo Cupreata. The agave used in this mezcal begins its life in the Vieyra agave nursery.

Once it reaches an appropriate size, it is replanted on the mountain slopes surrounding the palenque and left to grow undisturbed until maturity.

Once mature, the Cupreata agave is roasted in a pit oven, fermented using natural yeasts in oak vats, and double-distilled in a Filipino-style still.
