Selección de Bosques is a gift of meticulous labor, time, patience, and nature’s generosity. Working in close collaboration with renowned French cooperage Nadalié Tonnellerie, the Santanera team selects specific trees—some as old as 400 years—from individual forests around the world, sustainably harvested and purchased at auction from the Office National des Foréts. The wood is processed over 36 months and toasted to unique specifications, ultimately comprising the barrels (dubbed Primera Calidad Bosques, or “premium forest quality”) that will house Santanera’s tequila.

Each batch of Santanera Selección de Bosques is individually numbered and labeled with unique production details, including age statements for both the agave and the barreling. Each label also links to an exclusive site detailing every aspect of the agriculture, process, and certifications behind every element of the batch.
