Santé - Wine Barrel Aged Coffee

Highlights

“Santé is barrel work rather than farm work: selected green coffee from Chikmagalur, grown between 1,100 and 1,300 m, is aged in seasoned wine barrels for several weeks until it takes on the aromatics left in the oak, then rested before roasting so the barrel character settles into the coffee. The result leads with Shiraz-like vinous fruit, raspberry jam and peach, high sweetness and a rich, rounded body, with enough acidity to keep the wine note from taking over.”
