The Rocha family has been growing sugar cane and distilling into cachaça 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 there’s no bark or pulpy residue in the pressed juice. Fermentation is with natural yeasts cultured from the sugar cane itself prior to distillation.
Cachaça is Brazilian rum made from pressed sugar cane juice. So like Martinque’s Rhum Agricole and Haiti’s Clarin Rhum, this is an agricultural product in comparison to the more common molasses-based rums on the market. It is a spirit capable of conveying terroir like a single malt scotch or fine brandy.
