Tasting note BIO Esporão Reserva Red Magnum (gift box)
The BIO Esporão Reserva Red Magnum is a powerful, elegant Portuguese red wine with a deep ruby red color. On the nose, you will discover aromas of ripe blackcurrants, plums, and blackberries, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper, cloves, vanilla, and a hint of eucalyptus.
The palate is rich and full, with ripe dark fruit, subtle influences of wood, refined tannins, and a long, harmonious finish. A wine with great depth that is already delicious now, but will also continue to develop beautifully.
Food Pairing
Fire up the Big Green Egg! Delicious with roasted red meat, root vegetables (e.g., beetroot), leg of lamb, stews, and smoked hams. Truly a wine to open with fellow wine enthusiasts at the green egg.
Other information
The Alentejo region is characterized by summers with very hot days and a strong cooling effect at night, followed by an extremely cold winter for Portugal. These ingredients, combined with volcanic soil and local grape varieties, form the basis for highly original wines. The history of the Esporão estate dates back to the Bronze Age. During the Roman occupation, the wines were already being exported throughout the Roman Empire.
Hand-picked grapes, vinification in stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 months of aging in oak barrels. After bottling, it is stored for another 8 months before being released onto the market. A wine with a powerful body, beautiful spices, herbs, and dark red fruit. Firm but not intrusive tannins combined with the oak ensure that this wine can be aged for some time.
The label of the Esporão Red Reserva was designed by the Portuguese artist Pedro A.H. Paixão. This Reserva tinto from Esporão is made from Aragonês, Trincadeira, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Alicante Bouschet grapes.
The Reserva line was first produced in 1985. The goal was to create a top-tier wine that showcased the strength of Portugal and the Alentejo region. Since then, the Red Reserva and White Reserva from Esporão have been praised worldwide for their strength, balance, and refinement.
Fun fact
A magnum bottle (1.5 liters) is not only impressive to look at, but also ensures a slower and more even aging process for the wine. As a result, the wine stays fresh longer and develops extra complexity. Combined with the luxury gift box, this Esporão Reserva Magnum makes for a wonderful gift for wine lovers or a real eye-catcher during a festive dinner.
