The gin that distils in the Sintra fog
José Maria and Gonçalo Xavier, producers of Cacimba Gin
Cacimba Gin includes 12 botanicals characteristic of the Serra, harvested by Zé Maria and Gonçalo Xavier themselves - including eucalyptus and laurel - but the true Sintra aroma is revealed by the presence of Maçã Reineta and Pêssego Rosa, unique and typical products of the region, which are noticeable with every sip.
Zé Maria and Gonçalo Xavier, young people from Colares and mentors of this project, have a professional background in the world of wine. Perhaps that's why the quality of Cacimba Gin is an absolutely differentiating experience that Made in Sintra has certified and valued.
Cacimba - The gin that was born from frog - as both young people understand and defend it, "expresses Sintra's identity in that we use botanicals directly from the Serra, picked and selected by us".
"Made in Sintra gave us the right leverage for our brand. It made us gain an audience and a market."
Cacimba Gin is distilled in a copper still and falls into the category of "London Dry Gin" where all the aromas come from the alcohol passing through the 12 botanicals that characterize it.
