Kantala Spirits
Celebrating Native Indian Agave & Nostalgic Heritage Distillation
A tribute of memory, nostalgia, and wild Deccan agave.
Founded by Suzann Homan in Goa, Kantala Spirits turned family memories and recipes connected to Grace Fernandes into Gracia Viva Agave. Voted 'Spirits Brand of the Year 2025' at the Business Goa Awards, Kantala presents Indian agave with a flavour-first approach. Pot-distilled from wild Agave Americana grown across the semi-arid volcanic Deccan Plateau, Gracia delivers an unpretentious, earthy blanco-style spirit rooted in Goan sensibility.

“Gracia is an expression of memory and flavor. We wanted to celebrate what wild Indian agave can be when distilled with Goan care and respect for heritage.”
Passionate about preserving Goan craft tradition and family heritage, Suzann founded Kantala Spirits to champion local terroir. She guided Gracia Viva Agave to win Spirits Brand of the Year 2025 and introduced India's first zero-proof agave spirit, Gracia Cero.
