The flagship wine BV by Enira has changed the wine label,  with its elegant new name -- "Grand Cuvee".

Bessa Valley的釀酒師，和2,500年前的當地人一樣，受這個河谷地啟發而開始造酒。命運把他們帶到這個地方，利用當地的葡萄出產一年比一年好的葡萄酒。所有工序以最尊重大自然、人物、葡萄樹和果實的方法釀造，他們不用追趕時間，也不會忘掉和諧感覺。

(Robert Parker's rating: 91 points)
2011年為Bessa Valley的葡萄酒帶來非常優雅的一面，比以往更為精緻。雖然初嘗時，感覺較含蓄，但隨之而來的奔放果香以及悠長的結尾，實在令人驚喜。愈是品嘗，就愈喜歡它。

Enira is the wine made in Bessa Valley

We, the wine-makers from Bessa Valley, are inspired by this place as much as the Bessians were 2500 years ago.Now we are the Bessians! It is our destiny to grow the vines of the Valley and make great wine from their fruit year after year. Everything is done with the greatest respect for the nature, the people, the vines and its fruit. We are not in a hurry. We are not losing the harmony.

“Our wine is for pleasure – we serve it before dinner and during dinner. I’ve chosen Bulgaria because of the magnificent terroir. With Enira we revive the image of the Bulgarian wines worldwide. I can’t find competitive wine internationally like Enira.

Count Stephan von Neipperg (Owner of Ch. Canon la Gaffeliere (Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classe B), La Mondotte)

2011 delivered a very elegant aspect to wines at Bessa Valley. It show more finesse and elegance. They are not always quite as obvious from the first taste, but they wind up mostly in the same place and they show very well, surprising you with their persistence and lifted fruit. The more I tasted this, the more I liked it.
