The aristocratic soul of the Río de la Plata. The crown jewel of our Herencia Collection.
Named after the Minué Federal—the most elegant and prestigious ballroom dance of the 19th-century Argentine high society—this Imperial mate is a masterpiece of traditional silversmithing. Designed for the most discerning mate drinkers, the Minué Federal is not just a gourd; it is a handcrafted heirloom that commands attention in any setting.
Built upon a rigorously selected, thick-walled Brazilian gourd, this mate offers a robust structure and a flawless curing process. Its defining feature is the majestic polished Alpaca silver virola (rim), crowned with intricate, hand-soldered solid bronze details. Wrapped in premium, hand-tooled leather by master artisans, every Minué Federal is a unique testament to authentic craftsmanship.
Why it’s the definitive choice:
The Bronze Crown (Corona): A commanding Alpaca silver rim featuring a solid bronze crown soldered directly onto the metal, providing a spectacular silver-and-gold contrast fit for royalty.
Hand-Tooled Leather: Dressed in top-tier genuine leather, meticulously carved and embossed by artisans to offer a superior tactile grip and a visual pattern that makes every piece one-of-a-kind.
Selected Brazilian Gourd: We source only the thickest, most durable natural gourds, ensuring a perfect curing process, exceptional flavor retention, and a lifetime of daily use.
Bronze-Reinforced Base: The gourd rests firmly on a custom Alpaca silver base ring, finished with elegant solid bronze ball feet that protect the leather and give the mate its majestic stance.
The Perfect Pairing (Ready to Enjoy):
Every Minué Federal comes ready for your ritual, including our classic Limay Stainless Steel Bombilla, a reliable and durable companion for daily use.
The Master’s Upgrade (Exclusive Offer):
A crown jewel deserves a royal scepter. Elevate your ritual to the absolute highest level by pairing your Minué Federal with our Del Plata - Premium Alpaca Bombillón. The warm, jewelry-grade shine of the Alpaca silver and the professional wide-flow design of the Bombillón create the absolute perfect match for this majestic gourd. By upgrading your set today, you unlock an exclusive $15 CAD discount on your premium Alpaca straw. (Discount applied automatically at checkout).
A Note on Artisanal Authenticity: Because every Minué Federal is 100% handcrafted using natural gourds and genuine leather, the exact size, shape, and leather tooling patterns will vary slightly. These are not imperfections, but the hallmark of a truly unique piece of art—no two mates are ever exactly alike.
*Please note: This product includes the artisan mate gourd and the Limay bombilla. Other accessories shown are for illustrative purposes.
