"It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the hard, inflexible line created by man. What attracts me are sensual curves, the curves in my country's mountains, in the sinuous flow of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman." - Oscar Niemeyer, Architect from Rio de Janeiro, and winner of the 1988 Pritzker Prize.

Discover Avuá (av-wah) Cachaça. From your first inviting sip which is COMPLEX and LASTING, to the end of your glass, you’ll savor the adventure of discovering the Rio that stretches from the 1950s birth of Bossa Nova to the magnificent vistas visible from the beach of Copacabana and embraces the WARMTH and PASSION of Brazil’s people.

Avuá Cachaça is a single sourced and pot distilled spirit, made in a family distillery four hours north of Rio de Janeiro. Perfected over 100 years by the distiller's family, great care is taken in the production process. Estate grown cane is hand cut and, within four hours, pressed by a water-wheel powered mill, followed by wild yeast fermentation for twenty-four hours. This culminates with a single distillation in an alembic pot still. The final products are then rested or aged on site and bottled at their peak. Our mission is to challenge the perception that cachaça can solely be used in a caipirinha, expressing the tradition of cachaça in Brazil that extends back over five hundred years.
