Avuá Prata Cachaça

Avuá Prata is the expression that shows what Brazilian cachaça tastes like at its most honest and unadorned — a crystal-clear, unaged spirit that captures the full vibrancy of single-estate sugarcane before any wood influence changes the picture. While the Amburana is aged in rare Brazilian hardwood for up to two years, the Prata rests in stainless steel for six months — maintaining absolute clarity while allowing the raw edges of fresh distillation to settle and integrate. Made at Fazenda da Quinta, a family-owned distillery established in 1923 just outside Rio de Janeiro, under the direction of Master Distiller Katia Alves — one of the few female master distillers in Brazil — who has been at the helm since taking the reins from her father. Single-estate sugarcane grown without pesticides is pressed through a water-wheel powered mill within four hours of being hand-cut, preserving maximum freshness, then fermented and pot still distilled. The result is one of the finest unaged cachaças available in the United States. Fresh cut sugarcane comes bursting out of the glass — sweet, grassy, slightly floral, and absolutely inviting — with a deep bready, yeasty note that marries beautifully with the cane character. Crystal clear on the nose with dried grass, overripe banana, and dried banana chips, while the palate delivers raw sugarcane juice, light fruit, grassy notes, dry pepper spice, and a clean, refreshing finish. Bottled at 42% ABV, hand-numbered. The definitive Caipirinha base. Buy Avuá Prata Cachaça online with fast shipping right to your door.
