Rio Sol

As fine wine wholesalers, Go Brazil supplies the trade with quality Brazilian wines from a range of wineries including Rio Sol. Reputedly the world’s closest lying winery to the Equator, Rio Sol remarkably sits just 8 degrees south, on the border of the states of Bahia and Pernambuco in northeast Brazil. This predominantly flat, arid vineyard borders the river Sao Francisco, downstream from the man-made Sobradinho lake, and forms part of a much larger irrigation project which focuses on commercial fruit production.

The Portuguese-owned Rio Sol and its neighbouring vineyards were originally intended to produce only table grapes. However, the year round warm climate ( not varying much beyond 28-32C˚ ) and abundant water supply have allowed the production of quality wines. Controlled by irrigation and pruning, more than two harvests per year are possible ( ! ), and both crop levels and quality can be pre-determined with some certainty. Each variety has a known maximum crop/quality ratio, and irrigation levels can be set accordingly. Premium and reserve quality wines, therefore, can be pre-planned by controlling both yield, through pruning, and reducing irrigation levels.

For those familiar with the traditional single annual harvest, it may come as a shock to see three blocks side-by-side in different states of development: for example one block being harvested, another pruned, while the third is barely in bud…Quite a sight !

We currently offer an interesting white and a classic red to add to our range of speciality wines from Brazil in the UK.
