Velho Barreiro Cachaca

"CRF is an aged reserve aguardente (brandy). It is a leader among the best Portuguese brandies in this category. This brandy has been made using the same recipe since it was first produced in 1895. It is aged in oak barrels that give it a dark topaz colour with an intense and complex aroma. Very smooth and persistent." —producer

"Cachaça 51 from Brazil is a liquor made from distilled sugar cane juice. While rum is distilled from molasses, cachaça is distilled directly from the juice of the unrefined sugar cane. Prior to distillation, the juice ferments in a wood or copper container for three weeks and is then boiled down three times to a concentrate. Cachaça is always distilled in such a way that the scent of sugar cane and inimitable flavor typical of rum are retained." —producer

"These are easy drinking wines produced for immediate drinking. They reveal the warm friendly fruiteness of the main grape varieties of the Alentejo region." —winemaker

"Aveleda is produced in our winery with grapes from the Vinho Verde region — the most extensive in Portugal. The careful temperature control during the winemaking process produces a wine that is slightly citrine in color, clear and bright. Its gentle and fruity aroma gives it a smooth, delicate flavor." —winemaker
