VIENTRE

Two lovers of life and nature.

Proudly Mexican, we value our country even more after years of living abroad. We reunited after 15 years in the Mexican Caribbean, became partners and a team, and embarked on this adventure in the world of mezcal.

Along the way, we have embraced a slower life and more conscious practices.

Our brand reflects an evolution and personal growth toward a more environmentally responsible life.

PALENQUE CHULAVISTA

Here, we proudly craft traditional mezcal from Oaxaca.

Limited editions with diverse varieties of agaves of unparalleled quality.

Organic, wild, semi-wild, and cultivated, these agaves are transformed into a magical elixir, made using traditional methods and 100% free of chemicals.

Master palenqueros, Don Carmelo and Mario, have spent many sunrises and long evenings overseeing the processes and crafting top-quality artisanal mezcals.

Originally from Barrio El Copal, in the town of Santa María Velató, municipality of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, they are the third generation offering more than just mezcal, history and tradition.

THE PROCESS OF OUR MEZCAL

icon

1. Selection of the Agave

The agaves to be used in mezcal production are chosen. They must be mature and ready to be harvested.

4. Fermentation

The bagazo, or agave fibers, are placed in wooden vats with well water to ferment with natural yeasts.

2. Cooking the Agave

The piñas, or hearts of the agave, are baked in a conical stone oven. They are covered with agave leaves and earth to cook thoroughly.

5. Distillation

The fermented liquid is distilled in copper stills. Our mezcal is obtained through two distillations.

3. Grinding the Agave

The cooked agave piñas are ground to break the fibers. This is done by hand using a wooden mallet.

6. Resting & Bottling

After distillation, the mezcal is rested and then bottled, ready to be savored in slow sips.

MEZCAL WITH A CAUSE

In a world increasingly aware of environmental challenges, we recognise the importance of taking responsible actions in our industry.

Since the inception of our project, we have realised how challenging it is to build a highly sustainable mezcal brand, which is why we focus on responsible practices, promoting fair trade, supporting vulnerable sectors in the production chain, and finding ways to mitigate the high environmental impact that the exploitation of the mezcal industry has caused in recent years.

We are part of programs and foundations dedicated to the reforestation of agaves, the rescue of endemic species, and the conservation of crops.

We want to leave a footprint that inspires others to do the same and educate the market to choose a different, more responsible, and conscious consumption.

We strive to create a superior category mezcal, a mezcal with a cause.

Our Packaging

We choose to use natural and biodegradable materials in all our products, avoiding the use of harmful chemicals.

We promote reuse and recycling by using recyclable materials in our bottles, reclaimed wood for the caps, and recycled agave fibre for the labels.

Fondo Agavero

Collaborative conservation fund, with the goal of creating a seed bank for Mexican mezcal agaves, in response to the growing demand for spirits that could increase pressure on the wild populations of agaves in the country.
