The Grogu of Cape Verdean
Cabral&Martins
Cabral & Martins – The Soul of Cape Verde, Bottled
For three generations, the Cabral & Martins family has preserved an exceptional artisanal craft in the distillation of Grogu, Cape Verde’s traditional rum.
Nestled in the heart of Ribeira Grande de Santiago valley, in Cidade Velha, our distillery embodies authenticity, tradition, and the richness of a unique terroir.
Each bottle carries the legacy of a people, the purity of local sugarcane, and the precision of meticulous craftsmanship.
Cabral & Martins is more than a rum – it’s an experience, a journey into the heart of Cape Verdean identity.
