Cloud sitting in the folds of the forested hills at Banderones
Lot III · The small hill, kept apart

Alomita

Alomita is the smallest of the three and the one we keep separate on purpose. What comes off it is measured in bags, not in tonnes, and it goes out as a single lot or not at all.

It sits apart from the other two, with its own exposure and its own microclimate. Cold nights hold there longer than elsewhere on the estate, and the cherry takes its time. That slowness is the entire argument for treating this hill as a separate thing: it produces less, later, and denser.

This is the hill reserved for the varieties that are difficult to grow and worth the difficulty. It is not a hill we intend to expand.

What we are building toward

Dense, layered, high sweetness. The lot we would put in front of a buyer looking for the top of what Ecuador can do.

Hectares, varietal composition, processing and the volume available for this lot are being finalised for the 2026 harvest. Write to us and we will send the full lot sheet as soon as it is set.
