Ola Sol Agave Wine Mexico NV

Product Story

Ola Sol is a delicious fortified agave wine, not distilled, to 24% alcohol by volume (ABV). This is a high ABV for wine but quite low for a Tequila, typically bottled at 40% ABV. The product’s heart is five-year-old Blue Weber Agave, the genus used in true Tequila. The Blue Agave is cooked and crushed just as the agave pinas are in the production of Tequila. Then a pure Blue Agave spirit is added, fortifying the agave wine just like the great fortified wines of Sherry and Port. The agave is non-GMO, and no sugars are added, relying solely on the natural agave sugars. The resulting product is clean and refreshing with complex agave flavors like those in quality Blanco Tequila. Ola Sol can be sipped neat or chilled and of course, enjoyed in cocktails.

Brand Story

Ola Sol was born from the shared vision of two friends and successful entrepreneurs, Miles Beckett and Steve Seigel. As avid tequila lovers with active lifestyles, they sought a way to enjoy their favorite drinks throughout the day without the drawbacks of traditional spirits. Driven by their passion, Miles and Steve embarked on a mission to create a premium agave wine that was accessible, drinkable, and wouldn’t slow you down the next day. When they got serious, they brought in industry powerhouse Alexis Beechen, founder of The Drop, a brand that was one of the first to put wine in a can. After countless experiments and a commitment to quality, Ola Sol was crafted to capture the essence of clean, light-toasted agave, providing a refreshing and versatile beverage for any occasion.

Tasting Note

Brilliant, crystal clear. The aromatics are redolent of Blanco Tequila, offering scents of cooked agave, mineral, and citrus zest with supporting notes of wildflowers and straw. The palate echoes the nose, delivering a baked agave-driven core with flavors of tropical fruit and flowers, sweet grass, and honey rising on the finish with hints of slate. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a vibrant texture.

How to Serve

Considering that it is nearly twice the strength of wine, we would not drink it like wine but rather utilize it in classic Tequila cocktails or simply mix it with soda and fresh citrus.

Price: $ 31.50
