Producer information:

Pepe Jijón is the producer behind Finca Soledad , located in Imbabura, Ecuador , at over 1,800 meters above sea level and surrounded by an exceptional Andean ecosystem. Recognized for his scientific approach and experimental vision, Pepe combines technical knowledge, respect for nature, and a constant curiosity about fermentation processes.

Its Cider variety is processed using the innovative SyOxidator Washed method, a reinterpretation of the washed process that incorporates controlled oxidation stages before fermentation. The cherries are first fermented aerobically, then transferred to sealed tanks for partial anaerobic fermentation, and finally washed and slowly dried in the sun.

This approach combines the cleanliness and structure of traditional washing with the complexity and aromatic depth of natural oxidation, resulting in a vibrant cup with notes of raspberry, apricot, orange blossom , and a rounded, elegant texture.
