WINE DESCRIPTION

Esporão Colheita Branco is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Portuguese winery, Esporão. The grapes are sourced from the Alentejo region, known for its hot and dry climate, which results in concentrated and flavorful grapes. The wine is made using a blend of local grape varieties, including Antão Vaz and Alvarinho, which are carefully selected and hand-harvested. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and fermentation in concrete vats and aged on fine lees for several months, resulting in a fresh and vibrant wine with a crisp acidity and a complex aroma of citrus and tropical fruits. Esporão Colheita Branco is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes, making it a versatile and elegant choice for any occasion.

On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of lemon, honey, and white flowers. The finish is pleasingly balanced and zesty, with a subtle mineral undertone.
