Test results
Intense garnet color, nose is predominantly black fruit with slight notes of smoke and spices. In the palate it shows density and richness, balanced with good acidity and fine tannins. The ending is long and persistent.
The Producer
Herdade do Esporão is home to a unique terroir that is the result of an alliance of a very particular climate, regulated and softened by the great central lake, with different types of soil, exhibitions and the vast wine heritage of native castes, castes from other wine regions and castes. The typically Mediterranean landscape is composed of smooth undulating plains that occupy a little more than 1,800 hectares of total area, 450 hectares of which are occupied with vines and about 80 hectares occupied with olive groves.
