Leonidas Jaramillo - Sidra
El Alisal - 4853
32
Leonidas Jaramillo's work at El Alisal in Quilanga, Loja, sits
at the intersection of inheritance and intention. As a
fourth-generation producer at 1,900 masl, he has replanted sections
of the family farm with improved varieties under a structured shade
system of native alder and fruit trees — a gradual
reforestation effort to stabilise soil on exposed hillsides.
Two lots from El Alisal appear in this competition. Where the
Typica Mejorado expressed orange blossom, passion fruit, and
strawberry, this Sidra Bourbon sits on the tropical fruit side
— tangerine, mango, pineapple — with toffee on the
finish. Both Washed, same altitude, same producer; the difference
in profile driven entirely by variety. Drying timelines here often
extend due to Quilanga's seasonal rainfall, and post-harvest
handling adjusts each year accordingly.
