The Vineyard
Co-fermentation of the grapes began in the wine presses, with foot treading at controlled temperatures (22 to 25°C), and finishing in
concrete tanks. Following malolactic fermentation, ageing took place in the same concrete tanks for 6 months. The unique micro oxygenation conditions provided by this type of tank aim to preserve the wine's character.
From 14-year old organic vineyards grown at Herdade do Esporão estate,
planted on granite/schist soil, with loamy clay structure.
2022 Vintage
The 2022 agricultural year was a dry year. During the vegetative rest period (autumn-winter) and spring, there were mild temperatures and low
precipitation values. In the vineyard, bud break was early, as in the previous year, and moderate temperatures s anticipated vegetative
development. The very high temperatures and the lack of water in the summer contributed to distant maturation between the varieties,
resulting in a precision harvest with a special focus on the expression of each variety.
