From Jalisco to the Negev – A Unique Tequila Journey
Negave (נֶגַבַה – a fusion of Negev and Agave) is a tequila that begins its story in the fertile volcanic soils of Jalisco, Mexico, and completes its transformation under the blazing sun and mineral-rich terroir of Israel’s Negev desert. Crafted from mature blue agave harvested in the Tequila Valley, this spirit bridges two worlds: Mexico’s centuries-old tradition and Israel’s bold innovation.
The project is guided by Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero, one of the most respected figures in the tequila industry, ensuring authenticity with a unique regional twist.
Negave Classic Barreled Tequila

Caramelized agave sweetness

Bright herbal notes with fresh-cut grass

Hints of green olives, mint, and black pepper

A clean, crisp finish with desert minerality

Negave Mystic Rested Tequila
Negave Mystic Rested Tequila
Rested for nearly five months, mostly in Israeli white wine barrels, and partially in new acacia wood, French oak, and Hungarian oak. This creates a richer, spicier profile with layered flavors.
Tasting Notes:
-
Distinct mineral backbone from the Negev terroir
-
Warm spices and subtle smokiness
-
Maple, caramel, and toasted wood aromas
-
A silky, lingering finish
Why Negave Tequila Stands Out
Negave isn’t just another tequila—it’s a cross-cultural spirit that unites Jalisco’s agave heritage with Israel’s innovative winemaking tradition. The Negev desert’s climate and soil imprint a unique signature on the tequila, making it a true world-first in the category.
