Tasting Note Esporão Reserva Red
The wine smells and tastes just as it looks. Packed with dark plums, black and red currants, cloves, a hint of eucalyptus, and some vanilla. Rich yet elegant. With firm, velvety tannins that guarantee fantastic development in the bottle. An intense, deep, dark color.
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 lovers at the Green Egg.
Other Information
The Alentejo region is characterized by summers with very hot days followed by strong cooling at night, and winters that are extremely cold 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. Click here for more wines from this producer.
Hand-picked grapes, vinified in stainless steel tanks, then aged for 12 months in oak barrels. After bottling, it is aged for another 8 months before being released to the market. A wine with a powerful body, beautiful spices, herbs, and dark red fruit. Firm but unobtrusive tannins in combination with the oak ensure that this wine can be kept 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. Since then, the Red Reserva and White Reserva from Esporão have been praised worldwide for their power, balance, and refinement.
