The one in charge of giving life to the Don Diego Santa Tequila is Rio de Plata, one of the oldest and most respected distilleries in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

The process starts in the highlands of Jalisco where the agave is cultivated in good agricultural soil for 5 to 7 years, until it acquires the ideal sugar content. In the elaboration process, this allows a maximum fermentation that is carried out with the yeasts of the field where it is developed.

After cooking the agave and extracting the nectar, the fermented liquid is distilled 2 times to achieve an absolute purity and to retain the essence of the agave, producing Tequila Don Diego Santa Blanco 100% agave.

Later, the tequila blanco is aged in Oak barrels to produce our varieties Reposado and Añejo. This latter is subjected to a triple process of slow activated carbon filtrations that transforms the tequila Añejo into Cristalino Añejo.

The pursuit of excellence in our processes has led us to win the following awards.
