Narsha is a small block at Gesha Village: 5.3 hectares of Gesha 1931 sitting in a tight band between 1,963 and 1,977 masl. Cherries picked here are tagged at harvest and tracked from the mill to export, so this lot traces back to one small patch of trees. Dried as a natural, with fermentation kept in check for a clean, fruit-led cup.
