Colombia Finca Río Negro

Papayo is a rare colombian variety, nothing to do with the fruit, originally thought to be a caturra mutation, it's in fact closely related to ethiopian landrace varieties, with a distinctive, elongated cherry shape. The cherries are depulped and washed, then co-fermented with fruit must to build aromatic complexity before drying. The result is bright and fruit-forward, with a round, juicy body.
