Shine ON – Blanc de Noir
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 and Clarity
In the glass, Shine On reveals a luminous, almost weightless character.
The aromas unfold with subtle elegance – pear, melon, delicate exotic notes.
On the palate, the wine is fresh, vibrant, and juicy
The finish is clean, refined, and quietly expressive.
This is not a wine that seeks attention — it draws you in.
A Modern Expression
Shine On moves between worlds — tradition and modernity, technique and feeling.
A wine for those who choose their own path.
Shine ON — in your own way.

Dream ON – Merlot & Syrah
The Rhythm of Freedom
Dream On is a tribute to dreams, youth, and the inner voice that moves us forward! This wine is built around energy and expression. Crafted using carbonic maceration, it reveals pure fruit, vibrant freshness, and a naturally lifted character, while maintaining precision and balance.The Craft
The blend of Merlot and Syrah is selected to support this style. The grapes are harvested slightly earlier, preserving natural acidity and favouring tension and aromatic brightness over concentration. Vinification follows the principles of carbonic maceration. Whole clusters are placed in sealed tanks under an inert atmosphere, allowing fermentation to begin within the berries themselves before the juice is released. Extraction remains deliberately gentle, resulting in fine, soft tannins and a fluid, supple texture. The wine is defined not by density, but by movement and clarity.A Wine of Energy and Expression
Aromatically, Dream On is precise and vibrant blackberry, blueberry, fresh plum, with subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is juicy, fresh, and continuous. Light to medium-bodied, with bright acidity and a clean, delicately persistent finish. This is a wine that flows — effortless and alive.A Contemporary Spirit
Dream On is about freedom, rhythm, and optimism. A wine for those who follow their instinct — and move to their own beat.Dream On — keep moving forward.
