100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Here we recommend pairing this wine with a Brazilian dish like Feijoada (Portuguese cassoulet). Otherwise try it on eggplant stuffed with meat, beef samosas with paprika or a prime rib flavored with chervil.

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon has a beautiful ruby ​​red color that will appeal to lovers of full-bodied Bordeaux wines. We detect quite clearly aromas of vanilla and chocolate , slightly vegetal notes, red fruits and a little jammy black fruit such as blackberry. We feel a nice mineral touch in the background added to notes of coffee and cigar box. Passage in oak barrels for 10 months brings a beautiful roundness. The tannins are soft and make it pleasant to drink. A vintage combining harmony and complexity.

The vines, which can reach 700 m altitude, grow on the slopes of the hills.

The little history of the country

Brazil

The Brazilian vineyard was born, in the south of the country, with the arrival of the first settlers who fled from the Madeira Islands and the Azores in 1532. It was in 1825, after the country's independence, that the trade in Brazilian wines developed. Brazil. It was first German immigrants followed by the Portuguese then the French and Italians who established the vineyard. Ravaged in the 19th century by diseases raging under the humid influence of the Atlantic Ocean, European grape varieties were replaced by resistant North American varieties. These still cover 80% of the vineyard but no longer have the wind in their sails. For around ten years, a new generation of winegrowers producing local wines has been blowing a breath of creativity. It must be said that this country has a less formal approach to wine, less strict regulations and a vast territory to explore which stimulate the imagination of winegrowers. It is complicated to define the style of Brazilian wines because they are like the country: multicultural. The size of the territory reflects a wide variety of soils and micro-climates which imbue the wines with their diversity and suggest enormous potential in terms of quality.
