about the wine

Wine produced solely from grapes grown at Herdade do Esporão, under organic farming. Wine with sense of place, intense, direct, and vibrant. Expresses the typical features of the vintage year, diversity of the soil where the vines are planted, as well as the character and identity of the selected varieties.

  • The 2022 agricultural year was a dry year. During the vegetative rest period (autumn-winter) and spring, there were mild temperatures and low precipitation values. In the vineyard, budbreak was early, as in the previous year, and moderate temperatures anticipated vegetative development.

    The very high temperatures and the lack of water in the summer contributed to distant maturation between the varieties, resulting in a precision harvest with a special focus on the expression of each variety.

  • Production Method: Vineyard with certified organic farming.

    Soil Type: Granite/schist origin, with loamy clay structure.

    Average Vineyard Age: 15 years.

  • Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Syrah, Trincadeira, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tinta Miúda, Alfrocheiro

  • Destemming, crushing, co-fermentation of the different varietals in stainless steel vats, controlled temperatures, following malolactic fermentation.

    In concrete tanks for 4 months, with unique micro-oxygenation conditions provided by this type of tank aim to preserve the wine’s character.
