WINE DESCRIPTION
Esporão Verdelho is a 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 winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging on lees for a few months to enhance the wine's complexity and texture. The resulting wine is crisp and refreshing, with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, and a subtle mineral note. Esporão Verdelho is a perfect match for seafood dishes or enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.
