Dark berry compote and wild herbs frame the profile of Herdade do Esporão Reserva Red 2021, with earthy undertones and well-structured tannins giving a firm, chewy grip. Oak brings a gentle sheen of spice without masking the fruit, suggesting a wine that will gain polish and complexity over the next few years.

Esporão Reserva Red is the estate’s flagship Alentejo red—an organic, estate-grown blend (commonly including Aragonez/Aragonês, Trincadeira, Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon and often Touriga and Syrah) that is typically matured about a year in French and American oak. It’s known for dense, intensely ruby fruit (blackberry, plum) layered with spice, cocoa and licorice notes, firm structured tannins and a long, age-worthy finish, presented with Esporão’s signature artist-designed label.
