Herdade do Esporão
The first wine made by Esporão in 1985. Our classic from Alentejo, obtained solely from our grapes, in organic production mode. The diversity of Herdade do Esporão, combined with the different characteristics of the grape varieties, soils, vine maturity, and the people who consistently make this wine over the years, results in a rich, intense, yet always harmonious wine. Label illustrated by Alexandre Conefrey.
Separate harvest of each grape variety, destemming, crushing, alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, concrete tanks, and small marble lagares, with controlled temperatures, pressing, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aging for 12 months in new (20%) and used (80%) American and French oak barrels. After bottling, at least another 6 months of bottle aging followed.
