OUR STORY

Oraga is the confluence of two spanish words which mean Golden Water. Although truly African, our name pays homage to the traditions behind the authentic Agave history. Oro meaning gold and Agua meaning water. South Africa has an abundance of the Agave Americana plant used to make our 100% Authentic Agave spirit. This plant is not only found in the Eastern Cape, but in the open plains of the Karoo, the rolling hills of KwaZulu Natal and as far south as the tip of the Cape Peninsula. The terroir of each region defines the characteristics of the Agave which becomes the distinct flavours of each small batch of our unique Oraga African Agave Spirit.

OUR AGAVE

Luz. Agua. Tierra – Light. Water. Soil

The confluence of all three of these elements create the foundation of Oraga’s unique identity. Oraga Agave Reposado is the very essence of the perfect barrel-aged spirit. It offers a rich, complex flavour with gentle smoke and subtle caramel from the baking process, with a finish of natural vanilla from the warmth of oak barrels. The Oraga Agave spirit is made to be complex yet smooth, the spirit of every occasion.

OUR PROCESS

Oraga Agave is produced in Africa from the heart of 100% authentic Americana plants. Our first batch of Oraga is harvested from the rich soils of the Eastern Cape.

OUR PROCESS

Cooked in both traditional and Mexican methods, half our harvest is cooked in ovens to produce a vanilla and caramel sweetness, the other half is cooked in open-fire pits to produce a complex yet subtle smoke. We blend these batches to create a rich, complex spirit. We then finish our spirit off in American white oak barrels to produce the very essence of the perfect barrel-aged reposado.
