- Info.
Aquiares is Costa Rica’s largest estate, perched on volcanic soil in Turrialba and led today by Diego Robelo. His focus on sustainability, varietal innovation and processing has turned the farm into a regional leader, one that balances scale with thoughtfulness, and community legacy with progressive farming practices.
This lot features Centroamericano, a hybrid varietal developed for resilience and cup quality. Fermented in sealed tanks before slow drying, the anaerobic natural process brings a juicy, layered sweetness. Expect red grape and blackberry brightness, grounded by dark chocolate.
"Centroamericano is a super interesting varietal as it's a hybrid produced from tissue cloning. Its herbal profile combined with the anaerobic processing, results in a complex cup with an variety of fruity notes."
- Imola Marjai, Roastery Assistant
