Esporao Reserva Magnum Branco

Description

Esporão Reserva Branco Magnum is a white wine from Alentejo, Portugal, produced by Herdade do Esporão. The winemaking is overseen by Sandra Alves and Teresa Gaspar. It is a blend of the Antão Vaz, Arinto and Roupeiro grape varieties. Winemaking of Esporão Reserva Branco: destemming, thermal shock, skin maceration, pressing, static settling of the must, and fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel vats and in new American and French oak barrels. Aged for 6 months in stainless steel vats and in new American and French oak barrels on fine lees. Appearance: crystal clear, straw-colored with greenish highlights. Notes of grapefruit and white peach, integrated with the subtle toastiness of the barrels and combined with hints of fresh spices. Creamy, complex and balanced, where the fruit blends with a touch of minerality, finishing with an intense and persistent finish. Pairs well with oven-baked fish, white meats and fresh cheeses. Serve at 10–12 °C. At 13.5% vol., it comes in a 1.5 L bottle. Serve this white well chilled but not ice-cold, in a medium-sized glass that concentrates the aromas. If the bottle comes out of the fridge too cold, let it stand at room temperature for a few minutes so the wine can reveal 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 its aromas.
