Esporão Colheita White Organic 2022 6x75cl

Aromas of citrus, particularly fresh grapefruit, with some tropical fruit and notes of green leaf. Complex and intense palate with slightly creamy texture, balanced by fresh, rich and persistent finish.

Vineyards

From 12-year old organic vineyards grown at Herdade do Esporão estate, planted on granite/schist soil, with loamy clay structure.

Vintage

The 2022 agricultural year was a dry year. During the vegetative rest period (autumn-winter) and spring, there were mild temperatures and low precipitation values. In the vineyard, budbreak was early, as in the previous year, and moderate temperatures anticipated vegetative development. The very high temperatures and the lack of water in the summer contributed to distant maturation between the varieties, resulting in a precision harvest with a special focus on the expression of each variety. Vineyard with certified organic farming.

Winemaking

The grapes were partially fermented in concrete tanks. After fermentation, the wine was left on the fine lees for 4 months, creating a unique typo of micro-oxygenation that respects and enhances the wine's character.

Enjoy with:

• Grilled and Roasted White Meats
• Fish/Shellfish
• Pizza/Pasta
• Salads and Picnics
• Mild Creamy Cheeses
• Oriental

Great with grilled garlic prawns, asparagus risotto or vegetable tart.
