Distillation and production
Production method
Organic sugarcane milled on a three-roller mill, fermentation with local yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), small-batch distillation (750 L still), collection of only the 'coração' (heart) of the distillation, dilution with local deionized water, resting in stainless steel vats and blending with portions of cachaça aged in European oak barrels, multiple filtration for polishing.
Distillation
Distillation in a 750 L pot still, single pass, collection of only the 'coração' (heart) fraction with an off-still yield around 48%.
Ageing
Resting for about 10 months in stainless steel vats and blending with cachaça aged 5–6 years in European oak barrels.
Producer history Yaguara
Yaguara originates from the Menaghel family tradition: the project combines artisanal practices (hand harvesting of the cane, fermentation with local yeasts) with a modern approach to production and international marketing. The brand has gained visibility in trade publications and is distributed in several foreign markets.
Production philosophy
Sustainable, craft production: use of organic sugarcane (Java variety) harvested by hand, controlled fermentation with local yeasts, reuse of by-products for energy and fertilisers, and use of renewable energy where possible. Focus on small batches and quality for mixability and tasting.
Territory
Brazil (rural production tied to family tradition; mention of activity in the state of Paraná in commercial and informative sources).
