Other information

The Alentejo region is characterized by a summer of very hot days with a strong cooling at night, followed by an extremely cold winter for Portugal. These ingredients, in combination with a volcanic soil and local grape varieties, form the basis of very original wines. The history of the Esporão estate dates back to the Bronze Age. During the Roman occupation, the wines were already exported throughout the Roman Empire.

The Esporão is made about 180 kilometers south of Lisbon in Reguengos de Monsaraz. The winery Herdade do Esporão is led by Australian winemaker David Baverstock

Esporão Reserva White is one of the best white wines from Portugal. For eight consecutive years in the final of the Proefschrift wine competition and winner of as many awards. Served in top restaurants such as Ciel Bleu and Toine Hermsen. Very versatile gastronomically. Unprecedented value for this price!

Fun fact

Unique to the Reserva line is that each year the label is designed by a different Portuguese artist.
