Abstract Journal of Small Fruit and Viticulture Vol.3, Number 1,1995 Grape Growing and Wine Making in Tropical Brazil by Tibor Lakatos........................3-14
ABSTRACT: Good quality wine grapes are grown in tropical Brazil. The area is situated around the 9th southern latitude between the cities of Casa Nova, State of Bahia and Santa
Maria da Bao Vista, State of Pernambuco, in the Sao Francisco river valley at an altitude of 375 meters. The climate is semi-arid, with precipitation of 300-600mm, and average temperature is 26oC.
Grapes are harvested in July and August after 120-130 days of vegetation and again in late December after 100 days vegetation. Grape vines receive one months rest after harvest
and are induced to grow again so that the harvest is staggered. Each plant is irrigated with 40 to 80 L of water daily. The quality of wine produced by these grapes is good and is
comparable to wines produced in [temperate]climates. This article details the wine quality parameters and chemical analysis of wines made from several cultivars of grapes in this area.
