Esporão Colheita Tinto 2024 Porto

Description

Esporão Colheita Tinto is a red wine from the Alentejo region of Portugal, produced by Herdade do Esporão. The winemaking is overseen by David Baverstock and Sandra Alves. It is a blend of the Aragonez, Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Franca grape varieties. Vintage 2024. Winemaking of Esporão Colheita Tinto: The grapes are co-fermented in lagares, using foot treading, at controlled temperatures (22 to 25 °C), and the process concludes in concrete tanks. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for 6 months in the same concrete tanks. The microoxygenation conditions, unique to this type of vessel, are designed to respect the character of the wine. Visually clear, with a concentrated ruby colour. On the nose, black plum and some fresh redcurrant combine with nuances of white pepper and a few green notes. The silky, appealing texture stands out, with ripe fruit wrapped in mineral and earthy touches that give it a pure, vibrant and persistent character. It pairs well with Iberian pork, roast lamb and sheep's cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C. At 14% vol., it is presented in a 0.75 L bottle. To get the most from this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which allows the aromas to breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
