Discovering the wine region of Minas Gerais

Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth-largest in the world. It has a sizable wine industry, but is probably best known in global markets for spirits, and in particular Cachaça. With roughly 83,000 hectares (205,000 acres) of Vineyard">Vineyard, it ranks just behind its near-neighbors Argentina and Chile in terms of acreage under vine.

There are concerted efforts underway to improve this ratio. Although not yet recognized on an international scale, the quality of Brazilian wines is increasing year on year. Brazil's best-known wines are arguably its Sparkling whites. There are some Champagne method wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The southern hemisphere wine belt encircles the globe between 30°S and 45°S, leaving very little room for Brazil to develop its vineyard area. Thus the vast majority of Brazilian wine comes from Brazil's southernmost regions, Campanha and particularly Serra Gaucha.
