CACHAÇA MOENDÃO PREMIUM BLEND CARVALHO & AMBURANA

The origin of Cachaça Moendão dates back to 1980, a period when the Schimitt family's sole livelihood involved raising livestock, cultivating corn, sweet potatoes, beans, and the significant sugarcane crop. To boost his earnings, Pedro Schimitt Junior launched his own venture, establishing a still for small-batch cachaça production, which proved remarkably successful, surpassing all expectations. He then honed his expertise and passed his knowledge to his son, José Francisco Schmitt, who diligently imparted his skills to his own children and grandchildren. The new family shop opened in 1998, established by Carlos Rogerio Schimitt, which is now the site of Cachaçaria Moendão, fully recognized and authorized by MAPA. The product's quality is a result of extensive experience in artisanal cachaça crafting, now in its fourth generation, pleasing discerning tastes and earning accolades in global cachaça competitions. Moendão's cachaças possess a distinct flavor, owing to meticulous artisanal production starting with sugarcane cultivation, milling, fermentation, distillation, aging, and bottling, all reaching the end consumer through a detailed process rich in production secrets. Premium Cachaça is a Barrel Blend, aged for 10 years in American Oak and 2 years in Amburana. This cachaça offers a completely unique flavor and aroma profile due to the fusion of two wood types, impressing the most discerning palates. Cachaça Moendão Premium's production is entirely artisanal and overseen by the Ministry of Agriculture, which monitors the barrel management process. Source: Moendão & Cachaçaria Nacional websites.
