The wine region of Santa Catarina
State of southern Brazil, a renowned specialist in altitude wines (IG "Vinhos de Altitude"), vineyards between 870 and 1,300 m. A cool climate without a dry season marking freshness and tension. Precise Chardonnay whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers and saline minerality, crisp acidity. Lively Sauvignon (boxwood, exotic fruits).
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
