We absolutely adore Vinhal's coffee, and we can't help but smile with pleasure when the fresh harvest arrives at the roastery. Vinhal doesn't play by the typical Brazilian coffee rules - it's in a league of its own. We have been sourcing the same lots for three years now, which speaks volumes about the distinctiveness and exceptional quality of this coffee.
Vinhal Estates won third place in the Cup Of Excellence Brazil 2022, with a Natural Catucaí 2SL that scored 90.53 points.
Meet the farmer.
A family-run business since 1988, Vinhal Estates is award-winning and produces very high-quality coffees in the heart of Minas Gerais state, in the Cerrado Mineiro Region, Brazil.
In 1988, Mr Zico Vinhal planted the first seeds of the family business, what is now known as Vinhal Café’s Artesanais, with his own hands in the soil.
Today, the farm is run by the father and son duo Afonso and Rafael. Together, they’ve paved the way for excellent specialty coffee production, including this innovative triple fermentation-honey experimental lot called ML-46.
All the family is very passionate about coffee and proud of all the awards they have already won. They know their product stands out for its highly different aromas and flavours.
So, with great pride, we invite you to try and testify to the quality of Vinhal's coffee!
