Introduction
The 2022 Esporão Monte Velho Tinto Reserva is a fine representation of Alentejo's winemaking tradition. This red blend balances freshness, structure, and the rich expression of its terroir, crafted by the renowned Herdade do Esporão winery.

Terrior
The Alentejo region's terroir is defined by granitic and schist soils with a loamy-clay structure. The 2022 growing season was marked by dry conditions and moderate temperatures, with summer heat accelerating ripening. The careful timing of harvest ensured an optimal expression of each varietal's character.

Tasting notes:
The 2022 Esporão Monte Velho Tinto Reserva has aromas of ripe fruits entwined with subtle hints of baking spices, vanilla, and woodsmoke. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with ripe blackberries, cherries, and raspberries, with notes of brambly earth, savory herbs, and toast that add depth and dimension. Bright acidity keeps it lively and exceptionally well-balanced.
