Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, with 80,000 hectares of vines spanning a variety of soils and climates. It has been producing wine since the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century and today makes a range of wines: sweet, sparkling, easy-drinking and ageable. Although it produces similar volumes to countries such as New Zealand, Greece and Austria, its wines are not well known outside of South America.
The Wines of Brazil is therefore for wine explorers in search of diverse, off the beaten track wines. It begins by relating Brazil's wine-making history, before moving on to explain current viticulture and wine making. The regions and their wine producers are profiled in detail, with a particular focus on those whose wines are sold outside the country.
Features a detailed history of alcohol production in Brazil, from indigenous peoples to the arrival of European settlers to the foundations of today's wine business.
Explores Brazil's differing varieties and wine growing methods across its broad range of terroirs, from the pioneering region of Serra Gaúcha in the south to the northern tropics of the São Francisco Valley.
Provides details on many of Brazil's producers, including the author's recommendations and information on visiting wineries. Author is a Brazilian national who has been a wine educator for more then two decades. Supported by colour maps and photos.
