‘La Laja’ is named after a type of flat stone found in abundance in this field. This is the first time that this 5 hectare (10 acres) rocky, treeless field has been used to cultivate agave instead of growing grass and feeding cattle. It is located about 2km east of La Alteña Distillery and its altitude ranges from 2070 meters to 2097 meters above sea level with a south orientation. Only the ripe agaves were selected at the time with about 40% of the plants not fully mature. These plants have been left for a second harvest by the end of 2020.
