Brazil Natural Espirito Santo Contest 5th Place
This Catucaí 785 from Sítio Mata Fria in Espírito Santo shines with flavors of lime, cranberry, date, and milk chocolate. Managed by Celso and his wife, the farm embraces meticulous harvesting sometimes up to six passes per plot to ensure only the ripest cherries are picked. Their dedication to quality since 2015 has transformed the farm, earning awards and recognition across Brazil. With its cool “Cold Forest” microclimate and careful pulped natural processing, this lot captures the balance of bright fruit and smooth sweetness that makes Mata Fria so distinctive.
