Summary: The São Francisco River Valley is the second region producing fine wines in Brazil. Many varieties are used to produce tropical red wines, but Syrah is the main grape because it adapted very well to the edafoclimatic conditions of the region. It's localized in a tropical semi-arid climate zone, very different as compared to the traditional winegrowing regions, situated in temperate zones in the world. The main difference is the absence of the dormancy period, because there isn't winter. The annual average temperature is 26°C, that allows to the vine to produce two or three times per year.
