This unaged style of Cachaa is produced in Paraty, near Rio de Janeiro, in an engenho that has been in the same family since 1803, where hand-harvested, unburned sugarcane is distilled in n copper stills, heated directly by fire. Santo Grau Paraty is aged for a very short time in peanut wood, which only adds texture, rather than aroma or colour to the spirit.

Product Description

Santo Grau is a pioneer brand of craft Cachaca, preserving the origins and individuality of the most traditional, small and historic mills, called engenhos – traditional, artisanal production facilities in Brazil.

Production is still run by the same families that owned the farms for generations, using sugar cane from each specific region and natural fermentation processes, using antique alembics and centuries-old traditions.

Santo Grau represents 3 traditional regions; Coronel Xavier Chaves in Minas Gerais, Itirapua and Paraty near Rio de Janeiro.
