Brazil makes wine, and this is what it grows.

The signature grape is Chardonnay, backed by Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The climate is varied, running tropical.

The vineyards themselves read as coastal, elevated and hills.

Sparkling wine and red wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows refreshing, made in the champagne style, full-bodied with rich fruit flavors and made from portuguese varieties.

The named areas within are Vale dos Vinhedos, Serra Gaucha and Bento Goncalves.

Pour them alongside seafood, grilled meats, spicy dishes and cheeses.

Keeps for 3 to 10 years.
