Esporao Reserva White Organic 2023 75cl

Esporao Reserva White Organic

Made from organically grown vines in Portugal, this Reserva White combines Antão Vaz, Arinto and Roupeiro to create a fresh yet rounded style. The grapes are fermented separately, with most of the wine kept in stainless steel while the remainder matures in new American and French oak. Six months on the fine lees add extra texture, balancing creamy richness with refreshing acidity.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Bright pale gold with a clear, polished appearance.
• Nose: Expressive grapefruit and white peach combine with fresh herbs, nutmeg and gentle toasted oak.
• Palate: Creamy and rounded, with ripe citrus and stone fruit supported by refreshing acidity and subtle oak spice.
• Finish: Fresh and balanced, with lingering grapefruit, herbs and gentle toasted notes.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this white wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Roast chicken with lemon, garlic and thyme works beautifully with the wine's citrus fruit and creamy texture. The acidity cuts through the richness of the meat, while the subtle oak complements the savoury flavours. Serve lightly chilled to keep the fruit vibrant.

Butternut squash risotto with sage and Parmesan creates a satisfying vegetarian pairing. The wine's peach and spice notes echo the sweetness of the squash, while its freshness prevents the dish from feeling overly rich. Serve in generous bowls for a relaxed evening meal.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Esporao

Esporao is a Portuguese wine producer founded in 1973 when Jose Roquette and Joaquim Bandeira acquired Herdade do Esporao in Reguengos de Monsaraz, Alentejo. The estate has a much older history, with its boundaries established in 1267 and its landscape shaped by centuries of agriculture, wine and olive growing.

The Esporao brand was launched with its first vintage in 1985, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Portuguese wine. Wine exports began in 1989 and have since expanded to more than 50 international markets.

A key figure in the development of Esporao was Australian winemaker David Baverstock, who joined the estate in 1992. His arrival coincided with a period of major development in both the vineyards and winery, helping establish a stronger focus on quality and experimentation.

Over time, Esporao has expanded beyond its original Alentejo home. The acquisition of Quinta dos Murcas brought the producer into the Douro, while Quinta do Ameal extended its presence into Vinho Verde. The company also produces olive oil and craft beer alongside its wines.

Today, Esporao remains a family-owned business with a strong focus on responsibility, creativity and quality. Its portfolio brings together wines from several Portuguese regions while maintaining a clear connection with the landscapes and traditions from which they originate.
