A Unique Terroir: Bessa Valley
The terroir of Bessa Valley is renowned for its rich soils and natural environment, ideal for producing great wines. The vineyards stretch across lands composed of clay and limestone, providing a mineral structure essential for the development of the grape varieties. The continental climate, tempered by the proximity of the Maritsa River and the Rhodope Mountains, allows the grapes to mature slowly while retaining high acidity and exceptional freshness.
The vines benefit from ideal conditions to express their potential: hot days are balanced by cool nights, bringing balance and complexity to the wine.
A Carefully Selected Harvest
The grape harvest is done entirely by hand by a team of skilled pickers. Only the best bunches are selected, followed by rigorous sorting to ensure optimal quality of the berries. This manual process eliminates damaged or lower-quality grapes, ensuring that only the best are used for vinification.
A Blend of Traditional and Innovative Winemaking
The alcoholic fermentation of Enira wine lasts around 30 days, allowing for maximum extraction of aromas and tannins. This slow and careful process ensures a well-structured and harmonious wine, rich in complex flavors. After fermentation, the juice is transferred into vats and then into French oak barrels for meticulous aging.
Aging in French Oak Barrels
Aging in French oak barrels is a fundamental element in the production of Enira wine. These barrels, renewed by thirds each year, add delicate aromas of vanilla, toasted wood, and subtle spices, while respecting the fruity character of the wine. After the third use, the barrels are replaced, ensuring high-quality aging without excessive wood influence.
Tasting Vin Enira
The Vin Enira presents a deep ruby color with purplish reflections. On the nose, it reveals rich aromas of ripe red fruits, black cherries, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla, leather, and wood. On the palate, this wine is generous and powerful, with well-balanced acidity and silky tannins. The red fruit flavors are perfectly complemented by hints of dark chocolate and sweet spices, offering exceptional length on the finish.
Food Pairing
The Vin Enira pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, saucy dishes, game, or aged cheeses. Its tannic structure and balanced acidity enhance rich, flavorful dishes.
