Esporão Branco Colheita 2022 Organic

€ 11.75

A deliciously tasty and complex white bio wine, with a straw color and green reflections. Citrus, especially lemon and hints of white fruit. Complex and slightly creamy, pure, rich, fresh and an intense and long aftertaste. A wine produced exclusively from organically grown grapes at the Esporão estate and expressing the finesse of the vintage, the different soil where the vineyards are planted and the variety of grapes.

The grapes were partially fermented in concrete tanks. After fermentation, the wine was left on fine dregs for 4 months, allowing a unique type of micro-oxidation that respects and improves the character of this wine.

Temperatures in 2020 were slightly higher than the average of the last 21 years, while rainfall was identical to the values recorded in the same period. Winter and spring were mild and rainy, allowing a healthy replenishment of the vines’ water reserves, which resulted in good vegetative growth compared with 2019. The summer was very hot and dry, presenting extremely high temperatures in July and leading us to begin the harvest around 2 weeks earlier than in 2019. The weather conditions in the veraison phase led to gradual ripening, which enabled a selective harvest that favored the expression and quality of each grape variety.
