Esporão Reserva Tinto

Esporão Reserva Tinto

Esporão Reserva Tinto is a prestigious red wine from the Alentejo region in Portugal, produced by the famous Esporão winery. This wine is one of Esporão's most iconic and recognizable products, symbolizing the winery's high quality standards and commitment to tradition and innovation.

After harvest, the grapes undergo traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The wine is then aged for 12 months in both American and French oak barrels, followed by an additional 8 months of aging in the bottle. This process contributes to the complexity, depth and refinement of the wine.

In the glass, Esporão Reserva Tinto has a deep ruby red color, with an intense and complex nose that reveals aromas of ripe red and black fruits such as cherries, plums and blackberries. These fruity aromas are nicely complemented by subtle notes of herbs, vanilla, toast and a hint of spice, which arise from the oak maturation.

On tasting, the wine offers a rich and full body with silky, well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The taste is full and concentrated, with layers of ripe fruit, chocolate, and a hint of smoke and spice. The finish is long and elegant, with a lasting impression of complexity and refinement.

Wine - Food pairing
