The 2022 Esporão Reserva Branco (white wine) from Alentejo shines with organic viticulture, delivering a symphony of citrus and tropical notes paired with a commitment to tradition and sustainability that resonates in every glass, making it today’s WineSiders Wine of the Day.
It is an exquisite reflection of the Alentejo region’s potential to create white wines that rival the complexity and depth of their red counterparts. This particular vintage encapsulates the vibrancy of local grape varieties, underpinned by sustainable and organic viticultural practices.
On the palate, one might expect a crisp acidity balanced by a lush texture, a hallmark of the Alentejo whites. Look for layers of citrus and tropical fruits, possibly mingling with floral notes and a minerality that speaks to the limestone-rich soils of the region. The winemaking process likely involved careful aging in both steel and oak, imparting subtle hints of spice and a whisper of creaminess without overwhelming the wine’s intrinsic freshness.
Esporão’s 2022 White Reserva is versatile in pairing, brightening dishes like grilled fish, creamy risottos, or even a simple Alentejo-style gazpacho. It’s a wine that complements a meal and enhances the dining experience, inviting the drinker to savor each moment, and that’s why it’s today’s WineSiders Wine of the Day!!!
