The wine region of Serra do Sudeste
Emerging region of southern Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), rolling hills at 200-400 m on granite and schist soils, marked diurnal temperature range. Cabernet Sauvignon is the signature red: structured and fresh with blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, pepper and an herbal touch, firm tannins and acidity preserved by altitude. Supple Merlot, dense Tempranillo, Touriga Nacional and robust Tannat complement. Taut Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon Blanc in whites.
The wine region of Rio Grande do Sul
Brazil's winemaking heart (~80% of production), Italian tradition. Recognised specialty: traditional-method sparkling wines (espumantes), fresh and fruity, based on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, among South America's finest. Accessible reds: supple, fruity Merlot (plum, cherry), fleshy Cabernet Sauvignon, dense, tannic Tannat. Round Chardonnay, light Riesling Italico, sweet, floral Moscato whites.
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
