Perini

by Amanda Barnes July 10, 2016

This family-owned winery comes from a fourth generation Italian immigrant family. You can bet that Great Grandpop Giuseppe never imagined his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren would manage to turn his few vines into the 16 million litres they crush today.

Third generation Benildo was the one to take the grape production into the commercial realm, establishing the company and a winery, and in recent years he and his two sons have bought over the old Bacardi wine facility increasing production significantly. Now the Perini family winery makes a range of wines from sparkling prosecco and moscato through to Barbera, Marselan, Tannat, Ancellota, and Merlot.

Aurora

written by Amanda Barnes

As the biggest winery in Brazil, Aurora are proud to tell you. It is big in terms of production, and it is big in terms of numbers – the business is owned by 11,000 people, the very 11,000 grape producers whose fruit is crushed to make wine and juice at this large, and historical, co-operative.

Sat in the centre of Bento Gonçalves, Aurora is an important link to Brazil’s wine history and a trip to the winery gives you an insight into the history and tradition that was created over the last century. If you visit during harvest time you’ll get to see all the action as hundreds of trucks bring the city to a halt as they bring in the grapes.

Cave Geisse

written by Amanda Barnes

Mario Geisse was one of the main actors in making Brazilian sparkling so world-renowned and Cave Geisse winery is his homage to making quality champenoise-method bubbles. The small family-run winery is in Pinto Bandeira, the region’s top area for sparkling wine and the very reason they believe their bubbles taste so good.

On a visit to Cave Geisse (reserve ahead) you should book in for their Geisse experience which is a tour around the vineyards to understand how varied the terroir is in this part of Brazil. In the tasting, there are few sparkling wines to chose from – but, don’t worry, they are all top notch!

Watch our interview on Brazilian sparkling wine with Mario Geisse on 80 Harvests!

Salton

by Amanda Barnes June 30, 2016

written by Amanda Barnes

One of the best known brands in Brazil, Salton winery is a large family company and the oldest running winery in Brazil. Founded in 1878, it has experienced the booms and crunches of the Brazilian wine industry and you can learn about the history of wine in Brazil in their painted gallery which tells the story of both the industry and Salton simultaneously.

Despite the very pretty outdoor facade, the winery is more industrial inside with a busy day-to-day production that you are most likely to see in action during any visit. The wine portfolio is large, so try and steer towards their Intenso prosecco-style bubbly, and their limited edition Luca Canei rose brut nature if you get the chance. One stand-out wine to taste is Salton Generacoes blend, as well as their good value Marselan.
