Description
In a nutshell:
A smooth, satisfying Portuguese red, real Alentejo warmth and exceptional value.
The lowdown:
This ever-popular Portuguese red is a real crowd-pleaser. Smooth and supple, it fairly bursts with those classic aromas of black fruit and wild berries. There's a lovely hint of fresh spice tucked in too. On the palate, it's intense and satisfyingly rich and comes with a nice bit of backbone for a wine bottled this young. No oak to get in the way, so the fruit absolutely shines, making for a deliciously easy drinking wine thats got good length as well.
The Producer:
Esporao stands squarely as an influential force among Alentejo estates, instrumental in defining the region's reputation for quality winemaking. Established in 1973, their wines expertly balance the warmth of the Alentejo with freshness and complexity. They excel with indigenous varieties and demonstrate a deep understanding of their interplay with the region's unique terroir. Their commitment to sustainability, particularly organic practices, adds a layer of responsibility to their winemaking. And their skill in producing wines of power, structure, and undeniable elegance is clear to see.
When to drink:
Rich yet unfussy, this sings alongside the smoky char of grilled beef skewers, the satisfying flavours of a hearty barbeque, or even the rustic comforts of a vegetable pie.
