The 2019 vintage of Esporão Colheita White is now on the market. Produced from grapes grown at Herdade do Esporão, this organic wine crafted in concrete tulip-shaped tanks is a direct reflection of the character of its origins and of this vintage.
According to Sandra Alves, winemaker at Herdade do Esporão, “the precipitation and temperatures felt in 2019 enabled a constant and homogenous evolution during ripening, providing the ideal conditions to produce grapes of excellent quality. Esporão Colheita white 2019 blends the characteristics of the vintage with the identity of the Antão Vaz, Viosinho and Alvarinho varieties, planted in 11-year-old vineyards under organic production methods, as well as the diversity of Herdade do Esporão’s soils.”
Esporão Colheita White 2019 has a clear appearance, with citrus notes, particularly of fresh grapefruit, some tropical fruit and notes of green leaf, resulting in a fresh wine with a creamy texture and an intense and persistent finish.
