La Medida Mezcal Tepeztate

La Medida Mezcal Tepeztate is a wild-varietal artisanal mezcal from the La Medida brand led by Julián Vidal Gómez Rodríguez — an unsung icon of Oaxacan mezcal for 40+ years. Tepeztate (Agave marmorata) is among the longest-maturing wild agave varietals — typically 25–30+ years — producing one of the most prized and rare single-varietal mezcal expressions.

Tepeztate grows in rocky, mountainous Oaxacan terrain, with the long maturation cycle producing exceptionally complex flavor development — floral, herbal, mineral, and with a distinctive depth that no other agave produces. La Medida’s collaborative artisanal approach across multiple producer communities provides access to these rare wild varietal expressions.
