About Esporão Colheita Red

Herdade do Esporão is one of Portugal’s historic estates. Lying in the town of Reguengos de Monsaraz, within the A.O.C. Alentejo, this estate dates back to the 13th century. Its boundaries have hardly changed since it was established in 1267, laying the foundation for one of the country’s best wine and oil producers. Although the first harvest didn’t happen until 1985, nine centuries of history count for a lot. Their current level of responsibility is very high, so it is essential to take care of the land and respect it as much as possible. Always keeping in touch with the present day, but without forgetting about the future, Herdade do Esporão produces Esporão Colheita Red, a wonderful blend of the country’s red varieties.

Herdade do Esporão cultivates more than 40 types of grapes in the different hectares planted on the property. Here, right in the heart of the Alentejo (about 180 kilometres east of Lisbon), is an excellent location for agriculture, especially for red grapes, due to the large temperature variations. But this is not the only thing, because a total of seven different soil types have been recorded at Herdade do Esporão, ranging from granite to clays. Their Esporão Colheita Red wine comes from vineyards aged over 14 years old planted on granitic soils mixed with schist and clay.

Esporão Colheita Red is a feast of flavours and nuances where each of the varieties undergo alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature. Before making the coupage, Esporão Colheita Red is aged twice: firstly in concrete vats (where it ages for 6 months) and then in the bottle, where it refines for at least four months before being released for sale.

We are convinced that you would love a glass of Esporão Colheita Red; but we are even more sure that you won’t be able to resist the price.
