Description
In a nutshell:
A vibrant, versatile white from Portugal's Alentejo, full of ripe orchard fruit, citrus freshness, and a smooth, easy-going charm.
The lowdown:
As a reliable benchmark for good-value Portuguese whites, this one does the job pretty well indeed. Fresh and easy-drinking, thanks to a blend of indigenous grapes that bring plenty of citrus zip - think lemons and white fruits - with no oak to get in the way. It's all about bright, sunshiny flavours and crisp minerality. But there's more to it than just easy charm; a firm body and a surprisingly long finish add a bit of welcome complexity.
The Producer:
Since starting out in 1973, Herdade do Esporão has grown into one of the leading estates in the Alentejo, and in the process have brought the wines of this warm, dry region to an audience that pushes far beyond Portugal. Their work with indigenous grape varieties reflects a deep understanding of the local terroir, producing wines that are true to their origins. Sustainability is also central to their approach, with a strong commitment to organic practices. Above all, their wines speak for themselves - thoughtful, well-made, and full of character, showing exactly why the Alentejo has earned its place on the world wine map.
When to drink:
Grilled sardines, garlicky prawns, or lemony sea bass - bright citrus and crisp minerality make it a natural match. Great by itself as well - no food necessary.
