Produced by Herdade de Esporao, It’s filled with plenty of citrus fruit flavours and perfect on a crisp or sunny afternoon! TASTING NOTE: Bright, lemon-yellow colour.

On the palate: Juicy, with apple and citrus characters, medium body with a crisp dry finish from its fresh acidity. 13% alcohol.

Or try it with delicate grilled sardines with lemon and herbs, and various white fish dishes, with or without lemon or creamy sauces; it’s a very good all-rounder.

The vineyards are in the heart of Reguengos de Monsaraz, in the Alentejo region of Portugal. Esporao has been owned by the Roquette family since 1973 but the history of the estate goes back 700 years as its boundaries were first established in 1267. Today Esporao is one of the leading wineries in Portugal and they have over 400 hectares of vineyards, most of which are farmed organically.
