July Pinnacle release — Esmeralda Lino 5NB
July’s Pinnacle Subscription features a classic Natural processed Geisha from one of our favorite producers — Hacienda La Esmeralda. The Peterson family farm in the Boquete highlands put the variety on the map, first winning the Best of Panama with its Geisha in 2004, and last year made history by sweeping all three categories: Washed Geisha, Natural Geisha, and Varietal.
Lino 5NB was harvested on January 28 from the Lino lot at Hacienda La Esmeralda’s Cañas Verdes farm. After harvest, the cherries were taken to the estate‘s mill in Palmira, where they were slowly dried on raised beds for 38 days.
In the cup, Lino 5NB showcases elegant white florals reminiscent of gardenia, alongside juicy navel orange and vibrant green apple. It captures everything we love about a classic Natural Panamanian Geisha — floral, expressive, and remarkably clean.
