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) respect the freshness and purity of the fruit, resulting in a direct, fresh, and vibrant wine.

  • Mediterranean-Continental Climate. In 2025, the annual average temperature was higher than the historical average. Rainfall levels were also well above normal, with a strong concentration during Spring, followed by a Summer marked by high temperatures compared to the previous year.

  • Production Method: Certified organic vineyards.

    Soil Type: Granitic soils transitioning into schist, with a loamy-clay structure.

    Average Vineyard Age: 20 years.

  • Aragonez, Syrah,  Touriga Franca, Cabernet Sauvignon,  Tinta Miúda.

  • Destemming and crushing of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation in concrete and stainless-steel tanks with gentle extraction. Malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks.

    Ageing

    In concrete tanks, whose aromatic neutrality and porosity provide ideal micro-oxygenation conditions, preserving the wine’s character and origin.
