About Abelha Organic Cachaça Prata

This small batch, artisanal cachaça is from the heart of Bahia, which is known as the soul of Brazil – the birthplace of samba and capoeira. 

Organic sugarcane, traditional and natural farming techniques, and deep reverence for the local environment create an exceptional cachaça of the highest quality. 

Abelha Cachaça is well-known and loved across Europe, but is just beginning to make a name for itself in the US. Be among the first to enjoy this distinctive craft cachaça.

The prata is aged six months.

Our reviewer noted, “It drinks like a grappa. It has that beautiful round olive oil mouth feel that you get when you are drinking really quality grappa.It blows any plata cachaca out of the water because its not astringent in the slightest bit. It’s just really lovely. Great for people who usually shy away from sugarcane based spirits.”

Tasting Notes

An intense fruity-aromatic nose, a fresh sugarcane and stone fruits taste with a smooth dry finish. 

Suggested Serves

Makes a standout .  Try sipping it – smooth as can be, depth of flavor, and zero astringency.  Pair with Luxardo Maraschino to make .

Production Notes

Abelha Cachaça is a family operation, produced at a single-estate from cane field to pot still. The estate is located in Rio de Contas, in the Chapada Diamantine region, which is in the heart of Bahia.  The highland sandy soils are excellent terrain for growing ‘Maria Bonita’ sugarcane.

Master Distiller Marcos Vaccaro is an expert in both cachaça distillation and organic farming practices. He and his team are dedicated to safeguarding traditional and natural farming techniques, which are integral to the creation of this excellent, hand-crafted cachaça.

The distillery and farm have fair-working and fair trade practices, and have designed their production process in support of the local community and to contribute to the local economy. Abelha’s long-term ambition is to equip more farmers locally in organic agriculture techniques and certification.
