Sol de Mexico is a brand of 100% blue agave tequila produced by Productos Regionales de Atotonilco, S.A. de C.V. This brand has over 50 years history.
History
The history of Sol de Mexico tequila began in 1951 when Paschal Don Gonzalez Gutierrez and his son Juan Gonzalez Ramirez planted their first agave seeds in the highland fields of Jalisco, Mexico. Today, great grandson Cesar Gonzalez continues the tradition of distilling. Under Cesar's leadership, Sol de Mexico developed a luxury spirit.
The distillation process from harvest to bottling has been managed by a recognized Master Distiller Don Salvador Fonseca.
Sol de Mexico has been available in the USA since October 2008 owing to cooperation with UA Imports LLC.
