The farm Ayutepeque

Ayutepeque is a farm located on the slopes of the Santa Ana volcano, also known as Ilamatepec in Nahuatl (an Uto-Aztecan language). It is situated in the volcanic terroir just below El Manzano at an altitude of between 1,000 and 1,100 metres and covers 153 hectares. This farm was founded in 1840 and has been managed by the same family for six generations, now producing Pacamara, Pacas, and Red Bourbon varietals.
