about the wine

Wine produced exclusively from grapes of the Herdade do Esporão, under organic production. In the search for greater freshness, a selection of the first grape varieties to be harvested is made. The fermentation and aging in concrete tulip-shaped tanks (porous/neutral aromas) respect the freshness and purity of the fruit, resulting in a direct, fresh, and vibrant wine.

  • The 2023 agricultural year was hot and dry. During the vegetative rest period (Autumn -Winter) there were mild temperatures and higher precipitation values ​​than in 2022, however, in Spring-Summer temperatures were much higher and precipitation was very low. In the vineyard, because of all these factors, there was an advancement in phenology. The harvest was early and concentrated in a few weeks, with the optimal maturation of the various varieties being reached quickly, providing aromatic, intense and highly complex wines.
