Cdigo 1530 Rosa Blanco is the brand’s most distinctive expression the Blanco rested for one month in French white oak Napa Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, just long enough for the wine barrels to enrich the natural agave flavor with a delicate blush of berry and floral wine character while maintaining the elegant, pure agave notes of an unaged expression.

One month is a precise and deliberate resting period enough time for the Cabernet barrel’s character to contribute but not enough to classify as a reposado or for the wine influence to overwhelm the agave. The French white oak Napa Cabernet casks impart a subtle pink tinge to the crystal-clear blanco, producing the characteristic Rosa color that gives this expression its name. The result sits uniquely between unaged blanco and the fuller wine-barrel reposado: more complex and wine-influenced than the Blanco, lighter and more agave-forward than the Reposado.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Rosa Blanco differ from the Reposado?

Rosa Blanco rests one month in Napa Cabernet barrels just enough for a delicate wine-barrel blush without reposado classification. The Reposado rests six months in the same barrel type, developing full caramel, vanilla, and cocoa complexity. Rosa is lighter, more floral, and more agave-forward; Reposado is richer and more wine-influenced.
