Altieri Chombi Natural

This lot, from their Mima Estate, is grown on the Chombi Block at the farm's highest elevations and is named for one of his grandchildren. The processing on this, their unique Dry Fermentation, is executed with Altieri's signature precision. Only ripe cherries are handpicked from dense and compact cherry clusters and left whole inside the harvest bags overnight to rest. In the morning they’re floated and spread out to dry on raised African beds for 5 days, then sealed in bags and fermented over 4 days. Final drying takes place in a refrigerated chamber over thirty days.
