Our mission
French winemaking know-how meets ancient heritage
We, the wine-makers from Bessa Valley, are inspired by this place as much as the Bessians were 2500 years ago.
Now we are the Bessians! It is our destiny to grow the vines of the Valley and make great wine from their fruit year after year.
Everything is done with the greatest respect for the nature, the people, the vines and its fruit. We are not in a hurry. We are not losing the harmony.

Terroir
The soil is the source of all great wine, a complex interaction between soils of clay and limestone and subterranean climate.

Lifestyle

MORE THAN WINE
developed on mystical ancient land
Located on ancient land with our Bordeaux know-how, we use the complex interaction between great soil and continental climate. The wines from these great clay-limestone soils provide power and structure, but also acidity and minerality. Merlot is the majority (53%), as based on the terroirs. Other varieties (Syrah 25% Petit Verdot and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon 10%) occupy the upper parts of the hills.

Harvest season in ancient symbolism 🏺
The autumnal equinox is believed to be the moment of the descent of God into the underworld. This is the period of the year when the grape is harvested and ritually crushed. The plucking of the grapes, crushing them and making wine from them symbolizes for us life, which at one point is plucked and gone; death, which is the moment of transition and transformation of the natural force in us, of our soul, which continues its journey in another form, just as wine is grape juice, but in another form and with other qualities.

Technology takes us to the winery, where the magic happens🙌
At Bessa Valley we make sure the vines are carefully preserved and because of that we make sure the grapes are gathered gently by hand. After the harvesting, winemaking technology takes us to the “receiving line” of the French company Vaslin Bucher Delta Oscillys - a new generation machine that separates the grapes from the bunch without crushing them.
The Firstly grapes are selected by manually removing parts from the grapes, after the greens and leaves are separated from the grains and on vibrating table bunches are sorted. Transported by elevator to a grain picker. The process is followed by filling the tanks and steering the bunches before going into the first of the extraction techniques.
