ShineON – Blanc de Noir
Blanc de Noir by Bessa Valley
There is something inherently paradoxical in crafting a white wine from red grapes — a quiet transformation that challenges expectations and rewards curiosity.
Shine ON Blanc de Noir by Bessa Valley is exactly that. Inspired by the timeless energy of music and the idea of expressing individuality, it brings together precision and emotion in a refined, contemporary style.
The Art of Blanc de Noir
Blanc de Noir — “white from black” — is one of the most delicate expressions in winemaking. Its essence lies in gentle extraction, allowing the juice of red grapes to remain clear, untouched by colour.
Crafted from 100% Merlot, Shine ON begins in the vineyard, where grapes are harvested slightly before full ripeness to preserve freshness and natural acidity.
From there, every step is guided by precision:
- Only free-run juice is used
- Pressing is gentle and controlled
- Fermentation takes place at 14°C
- The process follows white winemaking techniques throughout
The result is purity — effortless, clean and precise.
A Wine of Lightness & Clarity
In the glass, Shine ON reveals a luminous, almost weightless character.
The aromas unfold with subtle elegance — pear, melon and delicate exotic notes.
On the palate, the wine is fresh, vibrant and juicy.
The finish is clean, refined and quietly expressive.

A Modern Expression

- Direct pneumatic pressing for delicate colour extraction
- Fermentation at controlled temperatures of 14–16°C
Texture, Depth & Balance
