A balanced, organic red from Herdade do Esporão estate, this wine showcases ripe red fruit, blackberry jam, and hints of herbaceous spice, with a silky, persistent finish.
Notes of ripe red fruits, blackberry jam, and subtle herbaceous and spicy undertones. The palate is fresh and balanced, with a smooth, appealing texture, where ripe fruit shines through on an elegant, lingering finish.
Herdade do Esporão is located 170km from Lisbon, integrated in Alentejo DOC in Reguengos de Monsaraz sub-region.
Crafted from 14-year-old organic vineyards at the Herdade do Esporão estate, planted on granite and schist soils with a loamy clay structure, which enhances the wine's natural vibrancy and depth.
After co-fermentation with foot treading in wine presses, the wine was finished in concrete tanks at a controlled 22-25°C. Following malolactic fermentation, it aged for six months in the same tanks, where unique micro-oxygenation conditions help preserve its authentic character.
Versatile with grilled and roasted red meats, casseroles, stews, and mild creamy cheeses. A great choice for tuna steaks in tomato sauce, pizza, pasta, or even as a delightful stand-alone pour.
