Mehra Wines Pvt. Ltd. has announced the introduction of El Cristiano Tequila to the Indian premium spirits market, promising a top-tier tequila experience to enthusiasts and connoisseurs across several key regions including Delhi, Gurgaon, Chandigarh, UP, Punjab, Himachal, Mumbai, Pune, Goa, and Bangalore.

El Cristiano Tequila, derived from the Spanish word for Christian, 'Cristiano', is a nod to its Mexican origins, particularly the founding of Arandas in 1761, where the first tequila distillery was established alongside a church. This deep-rooted connection to faith is embodied in the brand's emblem, the 'Cross', symbolizing a strong belief in divine providence.

Regarded as the World's Most Delicious Tequila, El Cristiano 1761 Tequila has earned its title through a rigorous process centered around the purity of ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship. The production begins in the highlands of Jalisco, Los Altos de Jalisco, where the finest Blue Weber Agave is selected. These agaves are matured for at least six years and must weigh a minimum of 50 kg to qualify for use. Once harvested, the agave is shaped into what is known as the Piña and is meticulously prepared for steaming, fermenting, and distilling to create the El Cristiano Silver Tequila.

The introduction of El Cristiano Tequila by Mehra Wines highlights their commitment to bringing unparalleled quality and unique spirit experiences to the Indian market. The company emphasizes purity, passion, and purpose in their offering, aiming to elevate the tequila tasting experience across the nation.

This launch not only diversifies Mehra Wines' impressive portfolio but also caters to the growing appetite for premium spirits in India, reflecting the consumers' evolving tastes and preference for luxury and quality in alcoholic beverages.
