ARMAZEM VIEIRA CACHAÇAS



 The cachaça was served in doses since 1840 on the balcony of the old maritime Warehouse, today Armazem Vieira, where it was stored in large barrels and distributed in sealed earthenware bottles and in barrels with capacities from 80 to 300 liters of native woods: sassafras, ariribá and grápia.

The cachaça of Island is known since 1719 when the Cap. SHELVOCKE docked with the ship SPEEDWELL and recorded local production, in book published in 1726, A Voyage Round The World By The Way Of The Great South Sea. The Cachaça produced on the Island increased its notoriety in the mid-18TH century with the Azorean and Madeiran immigrants when other famous Mariners reported the cachaça.

In 1985, after being restored and declared historical patrimony, the Armazem Vieira began producing this cachaça to the national and international market, having his first national disclosures in 1985 in the newspaper Diário Catarinense and, in 1987, in the magazines Isto É (This Is) and Magazine Transbrasil on-board.

Since those years, when people talk about cachaça they speak cachaça Armazem Vieira.

 The cachaça of the island has unique characteristics, due to the climate, soil and its cane sugar type “cana fita” (saccharum syneensi).

The cane sugar broth is fermented and distilled in a controlled process. Quality is achieved through a biological filter in the fermentation and in the distillation process changing the profile of the tail to emphasize the heart of the distillate.

The heart of thea distillation is transferred to the ariribá and grápia wood barrels, located in the Armazem Vieira for aging the cachaça naturally.

CACHAÇA HISTORIC FACTS

The sugar cane plant came from China/India and was taken by Arab merchants, by the silk route to Palestine, the Mediterranean Sea and Venice. This city became the largest distributor of sugar to the European Nobility in the 13th and 14th century.

Initially the cane sugar was smuggled into the islands of Sicily in Italy, Azores and Madeira, in Portugal, and Canary Islands in Spain.

With the coming of Columbus to America, sugar cane has been planted on the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and St. Domingo) where it had continuity. 

After the discovery of Brazil the sugar cane was planted in Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

Today Brazil is the largest producer of sugar cane followed by Cuba; Haiti was already first world producer. 











The distillation of molasses rest from sugar manufacture, happened for economic reasons, because the sugar had high value and its production was controlled while molasses was not controlled and there was nothing to do with it. 

Molasses came to be fermented, distilled, making "aguardente de cana de açúcar" (sugar cane brandy), cachaça today. 

His clandestine market grew up with in the great sailing ships of the Atlantic and Pacific. Its production in Brazil Colony was not accounted by Lisbon, port of all Portuguese colonies productions.

The " aguardente de cana de açúcar" (sugar cane brandy) went on to work as a medicine and restorer of heavy toil in the masts of sailing ships. Contributed in the consumption of lemon (anti scurvy – fall of teeth - grog cocktail).

The cane spirit produced in Brazil Colony was known as Spirits of the Earth, and as Kingdom Spirit when was made in Portugal, made from grape bagasse, also known as "bagaceira". The Spirits of the Earth won the Portuguese Seas gradually were adopted by Portuguese vessels and other flags.

After the expulsion of the Dutch from Brazil, in 1640, they began planted sugar cane in the Caribbean, passing the technology to the French in Haiti, British in Jamaica and to the Spanish colony in Cuba.

The cachaça was to be called rum in english, aguardiente de caña in spanish, rhum in French and ron by Cubans.

The Cachaça in Brazil today is produced directly from sugar cane juice. Fermentation of molasses was destined for production of alcohol-engine.

The plant in Brazil had great genetic evolution, practically there is no more sugar cane plants of the time who came from the island of Madeira in Brazil Colony.
