Elevation moderates temperatures in Serra da Mantiqueira's vineyards. Growers use dupla poda, two annual pruning operations, to move the harvest from the rainy season into winter. Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are the predominant grapes. Sauvignon Blanc can have passion-fruit and citrus flavours with pronounced acidity; winter-harvest examples may also have floral and herbal aromas. Syrah can be full-bodied, with red-fruit and spice notes. Dry red, white and rosé wines are made here, alongside sparkling wine.
