Tasting Notes
Bessa Valley Enira is a dark garnet colour. The marvelous bouquet comes with aromas of forest fruits, plum, cocoa and vanilla. Splendid taste, middle structured composes of silk tannins that make it round and harmonious. The fragrant and lasting finish completes the overall finesse of this wine.
About
In the shadow of the dramatic Rhodope Mountains, these soils provide the structure, strength and minerality that allows Count Stephan von Neipperg to create wonderful wines that are full of power and elegance.
Vineyards: Bessa Valley is located on the hills between the Rhodope Mountains and Maritsa River. The climate is continental – hot summer and cold winter. The terroir is influenced by the river and the mountain. Rainfalls are at usual level. The soil in the Valley is loamy and clay-stony, mixed with limestone. The limestone rock is half a meter under the soil layer. 140 Hectares of vines are planted with Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Winemaking: The grapes are hand-picked, then carefully selected on sorting tables. Cold maceration of whole berries is performed from 5 to 8 days at 16C. Alcohol fermentation with addition of selected yeast strains is controlled at 26-28C during 8-10 days, in order to reach 3-4 g/l residual sugar, followed by maceration from 5 to 8 days in concrete thermoregulated tanks. Malolactic fermentation continues in tanks, then ageing for about 12 months in French oak barrels, of which 10% are new.
