Domaine Bessa Valley Grande Cuvée: The King of Winter Evenings

If you are looking for a wine that matches the weight and serenity of winter, Grande Cuvée is the
undisputed choice. This is a wine with character – not just to be drunk, but to be experienced.

The Sensation: An exceptionally elegant body with ripe tannins and a delicate, prolonged finish.
Winter Aromas: A complex bouquet dominated by plum, blackberry, blueberry, roasted nuts,
and cocoa, complemented by notes of dried fruits, sweet spices, and tobacco. These qualities
develop thanks to 18 months of aging in new French oak barrels.

Enira Reserva: The Power of Balance

For those evenings when you desire a wine with a powerful structure yet exceptional balance, Enira
Reserva is the classic that never fails.

Character: This wine is the result of a careful selection of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon,
and Petit Verdot.
Flavor Profile: It combines an intense taste of wild berries with hints of vanilla derived from oak
aging. Its soft tannins make it an ideal partner for long conversations by the fire.

Enira Syrah: Spicy Warmth

For those who love their wine to carry a touch of exotic and tangible warmth, Enira Syrah is an essential
addition to any winter selection.
Why it fits: Syrah is a variety renowned for its natural spiciness.
Profile: The wine is powerful and rich, with pronounced notes of spices that literally “warm” the
palate. It possesses excellent aging potential and a density that pairs perfectly with heavier
winter dishes.

Braised Meats and Game: The structure of Grande Cuvée and Enira Reserva is powerful enough
to complement rich sauces.
