Carbonic Maceration

Description

Juicy and vibrant with notes of peach, plum, and tart berry. Syrupy body with layered sweetness, with a soft floral aftertaste. Finca La Senda is the Pérez-family farm in Aldea El Socorro, Acatenango. Rooted in multigenerational farming, they sharply shifted their focus to specialty in 2017. Since then, they’ve built an experiment-forward workflow: selective cherry picking; controlled, sealed-barrel cherry ferments (anaerobic and carbonic maceration); and selective yeast inoculation to fine-tune clarity and structure. Drying is slow, shaded, and on raised African beds to ensure even dehydration and stable water activity. Varietals include Typica, Bourbon, Caturra, Pache, Pacamara, and Geisha, with process variation across lots. The result is clean, expressive profiles recognized internationally. Throughout, the family emphasizes stewardship of people and place: a small village team, transparent handling from harvest through drying, and a steady focus on cup quality over volume.
