Tasting notes:
The 2023 Herdade de Esporão Pé Tinto is a medium-to-full-bodied, velvety-textured wine redolent with aromas and flavors of crushed blackberries, black raspberries, and black cherries. Accents of wet stone and Mediterranean herbs appear on the mid-palate, while soft tannins and bright, juicy acidity make it simultaneously a decadent aperitif AND a great food wine.
