Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Grown on the high slopes of Caicedonia, this washed Sidra from Finca Potosí showcases exceptional clarity and elegance. Floral notes of orange blossom, chamomile, and citrus blossom lead into a silky, fruit-driven cup layered with watermelon, white peach, mandarin, and sugarcane sweetness. Hints of honeyHoney processThe skin is removed but some sticky fruit mucilage is left on during drying. Lands between washed and natural: more sweetness and body than washed, cleaner than natural., dulce de leche, and a delicate coriander seed finish add depth and refinement.
