Terrior
The vineyards are located in Alentejo, known for granitic and schistose soils with a loamy-clay composition. The region’s Mediterranean climate with hot summers and cool nights promotes balanced ripening. The 2021 vintage was marked by a dry winter and spring, followed by warm summer days and cooler evenings, preserving the freshness and complexity of the fruit.

The aromatic profile is expressive, offering ripe citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, alongside stone fruits such as peach and apricot. Subtle notes of vanilla and toast from oak aging add complexity.

Palate
On the palate, it is rich and layered, showcasing tropical flavors of pineapple and mango, complemented by hints of minerality. A creamy texture is balanced by fresh acidity, delivering an elegant and well-rounded mouthfeel.

Finish
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of citrus, stone fruit, and a touch of spice.

Overall Impression
The Herdade do Esporão Alentejo Branco Reserva is a well-balanced and complex wine that reflects the unique characteristics of the Alentejo region. Its blend of fresh fruit, acidity, and oak influence makes it an excellent choice for pairing with seafood, white meats, or creamy dishes.
