What it tastes like.

The name Heritage means legacy, tradition and family pride. This is what Cachaca Germana means to the Caetano Family. Germana Heritage is aged for 8 year in French oak barrels and for 2 years in barrels of Brazilian balsam. The result is a dark amber colour, a symphony of Cachaca and wood with very special notes of fruits. The exquisite care resulted in the inheritance of knowledge of distillation and ageing of this cachaca. Recommended serve: best sipped neat on the rocks with the green part of a lime zest. Fun Fact: To protect the bottles during travel, Sergio would wrap them with banana straw - fruit typical of the region, to prevent them from breaking during their long trips on horseback, as well as to protect them from sunlight.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Cachaça Germana

Minas Gerais

"Sérgio Caetano took over Fazenda Vista Alegre in Nova União in the early 1900s and began producing cachaça in a small copper still on the property in 1912. The brand is named for Freira Germana, a nineteenth-century nun from the nearby Serra da Piedade who infused cane spirit with mountain herbs and used the result medicinally — ""Germana"" in the local idiom means ""one of a kind.""
