Enira Wines: A Blend of Ancient Wisdom and Modern Sustainability
Enira wines combine ancient viticulture wisdom and modern sustainable practices to create exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of Bessa Valley.

Terroir and Vineyard Management

The ancient Thracians recognized the magnificent characteristics of the Bessa Valley and chose this region 3,500 years ago to master viticulture. Before establishing our winery, we consulted with multiple experts who unanimously recommended this location. The climate, a key component of terroir, is continental with Mediterranean influences, offering warm summers and mild winters, ideal for growing the diverse grape varieties we have chosen. Another essential component is the soil, particularly its clay-limestone composition, which is excellent for drainage and contributes to the complexity and minerality of our wines.

We strive for sustainability, maintaining the health of the vineyard and surrounding ecosystem with minimal use of chemicals. To ensure optimal sunlight exposure and grape ripening, we practice pruning, leaf thinning, and canopy training in our vineyards. And last but not least, we hand-pick the grapes, selecting only the best fruit. This careful selection process helps maintain the quality and purity of our wines.

Winemaking Techniques

Enira wines ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to manage the process effectively, preserving the delicate aromas and flavors of the grapes. In some cases, only native yeasts are used to initiate fermentation, allowing the natural characteristics of the terroir to shine through in the wine. Our wines are aged in French oak barrels, which add complexity and depth, imparting flavors of vanilla, spice, and toast. We experiment with different proportions of grape varieties to create balanced and harmonious wines. This process is both an art and a science, requiring a keen palate and extensive knowledge of each varietal’s characteristics. Interestingly, each grape variety is vinified separately to express its unique characteristics before being blended.

Winemaking Philosophy

Enira’s philosophy, “Quality over Quantity,” is evident in every sip. Our wines truly reflect the unique terroir of Bessa Valley.
