Winemaker Notes
With good body, domintated by its acidity this Vinho Verde is fresh and light, with notes of citrus fruit and tropical aromas. There is no CO2 or sugar added, as is the case with many other Vinho Verdes. Yellow with green hues. Exuberant, fresh and light, dominated by citrus fruits and tropical aromas. Dominated by its acidity, with good volume, it has a persistent and refreshing finish.

Wine & Spirits
A friendly Vinho Verde with enough nectarine and kumquat richness to fully integrate its acidity, this is plump and generous, with a honeyed texture. Direct that ripe fruit toward prawns in a coconut-milk yellow curry.

Herdade do Esporão ("The Esporão Homestead") with nearly 700 hectares of organic vineyards and olive groves, proudly stands as the largest organic estate in Portugal. Located in the Alentejo’s, Reguengos Sub-Region, Herdade do Esporão produces full-bodied yet elegant wines that are rounded and seductive, due to the combination of poor, stony soils, and a dramatic climate. It is here, that Alentejo wines are most balanced, whilst powerful, appealing, lively and with good aging potential.
Herdade do Esporão boasts a rich history, with its boundaries that have remained unchanged since the year 1267. The winery is often represented by the iconic white tower, built in the 1400's which stands a symbol of the historical shift from Mid-evil to Modern times in Portugal. Today, Herdade do Esporão remains under the ownership of the Roquette family. Together, both family and estate represent a winery that is founded on sustainability and organic agricultural practices. These practices reflect a commitment to making the finest products that nature provides in a responsible and inspiring way.
