Wine Details
Esporão Touriga Nacional 2017
Alentejo
Blueberry, blackberry, and plum fruit aromas intermingle with coffee notes with subtle toasty oak. Intense and long palate with very good texture, balance, and persistence.
Vineyards
From one of the oldest vineyards of Touriga Nacional in Alentejo, the 30-years old Badeco vineyard in Herdade do Esporão. Vines are trained using Double Guyot with vertical shoot positioning. Planted on schist with sandy to silty-loam texture.
Winemaking
Fermented in foot-trodden marble lagares, then transferred to concrete tanks where the juice finishes the fermentation under controlled temperatures. Resulting wine is matured for one year in French (5000 liters) oak barrels, followed by two years in bottle.
