, Clase Azul’s non-profit arm, which supports Mexican craftspeople by way of collaboration while helping to preserve the country’s folk art traditions.
With a team of five artisans, he created 300 handcrafted decanters, each of which took up to 12 hours to produce. Their intricate paintings depict flowers traditionally used in Tonalá’s clay techniques as well as long-plumed pheasants, cross-cultural icons of prosperity, in colors symbolizing the four elements .“For me, this bottle represents the value of life,” said Santos. “[It is] a work that goes beyond the times.
The result? A fragrantly complex, full-bodied blend featuring notes of grapes, orange peel, plums, red berries, and sweet pear, with a toasted oak and tobacco finish.
