Tasting Notes In 1891 the Matos family bravely moved from Portugal to the untamed region of Minas Gerais in Brazil. Little did they know that this overwhelmingly abundant terroir would one day be the environment that would produce ZECA de Matos Cachaça. The concept of Cachaca terroir has not been explored until now and in this case comes in the form of 100 year old plantations that grow at a high altitude which results in a spirit that is incredibly focussed clean and delicate. Unlike the vast amount of Cachaca produced in Brazil ZECA is 100% grown distilled and matured on the estate in a resolutely traditional and sustainable method. The resulting Cachaca is outstandingly good; perfectly balanced with hints of dark wood spice and exotic floral notes. The sugar cane is protected by indigenous anteaterswhich is depicted on the brands eye-catching label design. As well as working incredibly well as the base in a traditional caipirinha cocktail ZECA can be served with Sicilian lemonad
