Esporão Colheita Branco 2024 Porto

Description

Esporão Colheita Branco is a white wine from Alentejo, Portugal, produced by Herdade do Esporão. The winemaking is overseen by David Baverstock and Sandra Alves. It is a blend of the Antão Vaz and Viosinho grape varieties. Vintage 2024. Winemaking of Esporão Colheita Branco: The grapes were partially fermented in concrete vats. After fermentation, the wine remained on fine lees for 4 months under micro-oxygenation conditions unique to this type of vessel, which respect and enhance the wine's character. Aging: 4 months on fine lees. Appearance: crystalline, straw-coloured with greenish highlights. On the nose, citrus fruits, with emphasis on fresh grapefruit, some tropical fruit and notes of green leaves. Complex, with a somewhat creamy texture, pure, rich, fresh, and with an intense, very persistent finish. Pairs well with oven-baked fish, white meats and fresh cheeses. Serve at 7–10 °C. 13% ABV, presented in a 0.75 L bottle. Serve this white well chilled, but not icy, in a medium-sized glass that concentrates the aromas. If the bottle comes out of the fridge too cold, let it stand for a few minutes at room temperature so the wine can show its full expression. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place without temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal it and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
