Produced in Itirapua, São Paulo, this Cachaça is handcrafted in an \"engenho\" in operation for over 150 years. Sugarcane is hand- harvested followed by natural fermentation with wild yeasts. After fermentation in the copper still, it is lightly aged in oak and Jequitiba barrels, the latter softens acidy producing a more rounded 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. Tasting Notes Notes of wood and a smooth, velvety palate, due to the slight barrel ageing.
