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.

Bordeaux tradition
A precious heritage of over 800 years of winemaking know-how.

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

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.

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.

What do you experience when tasting Enira?
Very well balanced and juicy taste with velvet tannins, impressing with richness of aromas of nuts and wild berries. Extremely pleasant and harmonious aftertaste. Enira 2017 aged for one year in French oak barrels.

Merlot 2022
The winery is now under the most intensive boiling processes in the year durning the harvest season. The long way from the ripe grape until the fermentation is a journey through the wholeness of the wine.
Thankful for all the hardworking hands of the local people and the restless work of the specialists in Bessa Valley !
