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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
