Esporão Reserva Tinto is an elegant organic red wine from Alentejo with complex notes of black fruit jam with spices (black pepper, cloves) combined with notes of coffee, berries and cigars. The palate is complex with notes of spices and dark chocolate, with good structure and lingering finish. Crafted from 20-year-old organic vineyards and aged 12 months in oak plus 8 months in bottle, this flagship wine offers exceptional quality at an outstanding price. Why You'll Love It This is the flagship wine from Esporão, first produced in 1985 and born from their desire to produce the best wines in Alentejo. The organic vineyards are planted on granite and schist base with loam and clay structure, with vines averaging 20 years old. Each variety is vinified separately in a combination of stainless steel vats, concrete tanks and small marble basins, then aged 12 months in American (60%) and French (40%) oak barrels, followed by 8 months bottle age. With certified organic viticulture and meticulous winemaking, this wine offers remarkable complexity and elegance. Meet the Producer Esporão is one of Portugal's most prestigious wine estates, located in Alentejo. The Reserva was the first wine produced by Esporão in 1985, born from their desire to produce the best wines in Alentejo. Over the years, the estate has led innovation in Portuguese winemaking, adopting sustainable agricultural practices and converting all vineyards to organic farming, taking Alentejo and Portugal to the world. Vineyards Organic vineyards planted on granite and schist base, with a loam and clay structure. Average age of vines is 20 years, providing natural concentration and complexity. Vintage It was a dry and hot year with vineyard challenges, but the vines showed their resilience, providing wholesome grapes. The bunches featured smaller berries, which limited the yield but benefited the quality and concentration of aromas and flavours, resulting in wines with an elegant and balanced profile. Winemaking
