Other information

Vinho Verde is one of Portugal's oldest and coldest wine regions. The area is characterized by lower temperatures, more rainfall, and especially the granite soil makes these wines unique. Bico Amarello (yellow beak) is a very representative example of this. The freshness leaps out of the glass. Citrus and tropical fruit play an important role here. In contrast to many other wines from this region, it is not lightly sparkling, but rather crisp and dry.

Production is in the hands of the winery Herdade do Esporão. This leading winery Esporão is located in the heart of the Alentejo. Hard work is the basis of its success. The estate covers over 2,000 hectares, of which over 500 hectares are vineyards and olive groves. The rest is a nature reserve, which also plays an important role in the philosophy.

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand. This is followed by a strict selection to ensure that only the very best grapes are used. The alcohol percentage is 12%.
