Nestor Lasso: Community Lot

Highlights

“Nestor Lasso and Jhoan Vergara's Peñas Blancas project is built around centralized processing in Acevedo, Huila. The community model allows cherry from surrounding farms to move through a shared protocol focused on consistency, cleanliness, and repeatable quality. For this washed lot, public references describe a process that includes flotation, controlled fermentation, washing, and slow mechanical drying, with temperature and pH monitored throughout fermentation. The result is a cup that leans into what southern Huila does well: structured acidity, clear sweetness, and a balanced finish.”
