Esporão Reserva Magnum Tinto

Description

**Herdade do Esporão** O Esporão Reserva is the wine that best represents the spirit of Herdade do Esporão. It was the estate's first wine, from the 1985 harvest. It is made exclusively from our own grapes, under organic production. The diversity of Herdade do Esporão, together with the distinct characteristics of its grape varieties, soils, and vineyards, and the people who consistently craft this wine over the years, results in a wine that is rich, intense, yet always harmonious. Label illustrated by Alexandre Conefrey. **Winemaking:** Each grape variety is harvested separately, at its optimal point of ripeness. After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, followed by alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, concrete vats, or marble lagares. After pressing, malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. **Aging:** 12 months in new (20%) and used (80%) American and French oak barrels. After bottling, the wine is aged for at least another 6 months in bottle. **Winemakers:** Sandra Alves and João Ramos. **Total Acidity:** 6.4 g/L **pH:** 3.57 **Residual Sugar:** 2.2 g/L **Awards** Editor's Choice, 93/100, Wine Enthusiast (2021) 93/100, Wine Enthusiast (2019) 92/100, Wine Enthusiast (2020) 91/100, Robert Parker (2016) 90/100, Robert Parker (2017) 90/100, Wine Spectator (2014) **Allergen Information** Contains sulfites. **SKU:** 100168-1
