A new grape is rewriting the rules of Brazilian viticulture. Developed by Embrapa Uva e Vinho, the dark-skinned Nubia variety now covers 600 hectares around Jales in São Paulo state and is expected to generate around R$ 130 million this season.

The secret is resilience. Nubia shrugs off cold snaps, keeps producing steadily through the year and needs less labor because it resists fungal disease. Around 350 growers are cultivating it, with a harvest projected above 20,000 tonnes.

With heavy rains disrupting older varieties and prices climbing from R$ 5 to R$ 6.50 per kilo, Nubia is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after grapes in the country.
