The main business for our family was selling our fruit, maestro tequilero Alberto Partida explains. After blights ravaged the regions agriculture in the 1970s, the strongest fruits survived and dominated: mango, mamey, and plum. And as tequila grew exponentially, remaining family farmlands were widely converted to agave, or sold to larger scale plantations. Today, Albertos uncle continues to tend the orchards, inspiring Alberto to explore more deeply this vanishing aspect of his family heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eIn a process reminiscent of both the pechuga tradition in mezcal, and the ponche tradition of fruit-steeped spirits most popular around the winter holidays, Alberto has combined the bounty of his home and the Partida familys agricultural legacymango, plum, mamey, and agavein one bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eIn May, fruits from the seasons harvest are selected and prepared before eventually being added to the second pass of Albertos blanco tequila in his small wood-fired copper pot stills.
