about the wine

Made exclusively from organically farmed grapes grown at Herdade do Esporão. To achieve greater freshness, the first varieties harvested are carefully selected. Fermentation and ageing in concrete vats (with their porosity and neutral impact on aromas) enhance the wine’s freshness and fruit purity, resulting in a direct, vibrant, and refreshing profile.

  • The 2024 growing season was marked by a Mediterranean-Continental climate. Autumn and Winter were milder and wetter than average. Spring was also mild and very rainy, followed by a dry summer with lower temperatures than usual.

  • Production Method: Certified organic vineyard.

    Soil Type: Schist-derived soils with clay-loam structure.

    Average Vineyard Age: 15 years.

  • Gouveio, Roupeiro, Viosinho, Verdelho.

  • Partially fermented in tulip-shaped concrete vats with temperature control. After fermentation, the wine remained on fine lees for six months, benefiting from the unique micro-oxygenation conditions of this type of vessel, which preserve and amplify the wine’s character.
