Fortaleza Blanco Tequila 70cl
£79.99
Fortaleza Blanco Tequila is regarded as one of the most authentic expressions of traditional tequila making. It is produced by the fifth generation of the Sauza family at their historic distillery and bottled unaged to showcase the natural character of agave.
At 40% ABV in a 70cl bottle, it offers citrus and cooked agave with vanilla, basil, olive and lime, and a long, deep finish. The spirit reflects the terroir of the Tequila Valley, with an earthy, vegetal and mineral-driven profile and exceptional depth compared with many modern tequilas.
Its artisanal methods and lack of additives make it a benchmark for connoisseurs seeking purity and heritage. Add it to your collection from Chiswick Wine, a good place to buy tequila in Chiswick. Please drink responsibly.

Production Notes
Handcrafted in small batches at Destilería La Fortaleza. Mature Blue Weber agaves are slowly cooked in stone brick ovens, crushed by a traditional stone tahona wheel, fermented in open-air wooden tanks, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. The tequila is rested briefly before bottling, with no oak ageing and no additives, preserving its raw agave character.
Tasting Notes
Creamy texture, layered flavours of roasted agave, citrus oils, fresh herbs, and black pepper spice.
Food Pairings
Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to appreciate complexity. Works beautifully in elevated cocktails such as a Margarita, Paloma, or Tequila Martini. Excellent with Mexican cuisine like ceviche, fish tacos, or grilled prawns, and pairs surprisingly well with oysters and citrus-based dishes.

The History of Chiswick Wines
Chiswick Wine — A Neighbourhood Wine Venture with Heart
Born from the passion of two wine enthusiasts, Chiswick Wine is more than just a bottle shop. It is the result of five years of dreaming, planning, and sourcing with purpose. Our founders left their careers to create something that would bring people together, support sustainability, and celebrate the beauty of honest wine making.
Every detail of Finchley Wine reflects that vision. The space is thoughtfully designed with an organic, natural aesthetic and shelves filled with handpicked bottles from producers who care for their land as much as their craft. We call it wine design, a blend of taste, community, and creativity that turns every visit into an experience.
At Chiswick Wine, you will find not only distinctive wines but also a welcoming space built on connection, sustainability, and local spirit.
