Nestor Lasso and his innovative processing techniques need no introduction, this unique Typica Mejorado variety was picked and processed by Nestor on his family farm, El Diviso. Combining periods of oxidation and anaerobic fermentation, Nestor begins with 48hrs of whole cherry oxidation (open vessel dry fermentation), followed by whole cherry anaerobic fermentation in sealed barrels for 12hrs, then depulped & rested, followed by inoculation with collected mosto and a submerged fermentation of 8hrs. Finally it is washed and dried using controlled drying techniques.
Mejorado is a very unique variety mainly grown in Ecuador. Due to genetic testing it’s been revealed that it is actually a Bourbon variety cross-pollinated with an Ethiopian Landrace variety.
