about the wine

A classic Alentejo white, crafted exclusively from our own organically farmed grapes. The diversity of Herdade do Esporão, its grape varieties, soils, vineyard maturity, and the people who have consistently made this wine over the years, come together in a wine that is rich, intense, yet always harmonious. The label is illustrated by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira.
