Esporão Reserva Branco

Esporão Reserva Branco

Esporão Reserva Branco is an excellent white wine from the Alentejo region of Portugal, produced by the renowned winery Esporão. This wine is one of Esporão's flagship wines and is known for its consistency, quality and ability to reflect the essence of the Alentejo region.

After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and new French and American oak barrels. This fermentation in oak, followed by maturation of approximately six months on the lees with regular bâtonnage (stirring of the lees), gives the wine its characteristic complexity, creaminess and depth.

In the glass, Esporão Reserva Branco shows a bright, straw yellow color with green hues. The nose is intense and aromatic, with fragrant notes of ripe stone fruit such as peach and apricot, citrus fruits and subtle floral accents. These fruity aromas are complemented by delicate hints of vanilla, roasted nuts and a light minerality, coming from the oak aging.

When tasted, the wine offers a full and silky texture with a refreshing acidity that balances the rich flavors. The taste is concentrated and layered, with ripe fruit notes that come together with nuances of honey, toast and a hint of spice. The finish is long, complex and elegant, with a lingering impression of both fruit and oak.
