MAVEM is born from our thirst to explore the unsuspected richness of Aguardentes.
We have the “can do” attitude to dream, explore, discover. We want to leave our mark.
We are inspired by the courage of Portuguese Explorers of the Discoveries Era, but we do not want to seat still and live on tradition only and “saudade”. We are here to explore and build the Aguardentes of the 21st century.
In a world full of conformism & boredom, people do not want to stay in their routines. Yet, are afraid to lose sight of certainties.
Symbol
The Mavem symbol blends in several elements which are dear to us: the armillary sphere, the astrolabe, the compass and the wine grape.
Name
The Mavem name brings together several meanings that are at the core of what we do. It means come from (VEM) the ocean (MAr) and the wonderful (MAravilhoso). And for the Brandy specialists "VEM" also recalls "Wine" which means that all our Aguardentes are made with young and fresh Portuguese Wines.
Representation
