Esporão Reserva is the wine that captures the essence of Herdade do Esporão. It was the first wine made by Esporão in 1985. A classic obtained exclusively from our organic grapes. The diversity of Herdade do Esporão, together with the different characteristics of the grape varieties, the soils, the maturity of the vines and the character of those who make this wine consistently over the years, results in a rich, intense but always harmonious wine.  Label by Eduardo Aires.

A black currant aroma gives this wine a fruity start. The fruitiness combines with the elegant structure to produce a balanced, spice and black currant flavored wine. Drink from 2026. Organic. Editors' Choice - R.V.
