Carlos Cadena

Summary

Carlos Cadena is a Cup of Excellence-winning producer from Cosautlán de Carvajal, Veracruz, Mexico. This lot from Finca Pocitos features the Mundo Maya variety, grown at 1380 meters above sea level. The natural process involves hand-picking cherries at peak ripeness, floating to remove defects, resting 12–16 hours, anaerobic fermentation for 48–72 hours, then drying on raised beds for 20–23 days. The cup is sweet and syrupy with cranberry, dark chocolate, and a cherry liqueur character reminiscent of black forest cake.
