Produced by Vides 58, this lot consists of Caturra and Catuai varieties. It undergoes a natural process where cherries are fermented in bags for two days before being sun-dried on patios for 18 days. The resulting cup offers a balanced profile with distinct flavor notes of raspberry, cocoa, raisin, and malt.
