Sebastian Ramirez - Red Fruits

Sebastián Ramírez, a fourth-generation producer and fermentation master from Quindío, Colombia, crafted this standout co-ferment at Finca El Placer. Whole cherries fermented for 120 hours anaerobic with wine yeast, dehydrated strawberries, and fruit glucose, then pulped and fermented again for 72 hours with CO2 injection, creating complex microbial activity. The cup delivers bold cooked strawberry and grape candy notes with stone fruit depth, finishing smooth and creamy. This is masterful experimental processing that rewards curiosity—funky, fruit-forward, and anything but ordinary.
