Aguaviva Cachaca Brandy

Aguaviva Cachaca BrandyThe Rocha family has been growing sugar cane and distilling into cachaa since 1902. The sugar cane used for Aguaviva is farmed without chemical pesticides using biodynamic techniques. They use an old fashioned, and infrequently implemented, procedure of manually grinding the canes with mills constructed in 1871 to ensure theres no bark or pulpy residue in the pressed juice. Fermentation is with natural yeasts cultured from the sugar cane itself prior

The actual Chateau building began in 1715 and finished in 1734
