Bold and Beautiful: A Wine That Commands Attention

Tasting Notes

Esporão Defesa Tinto delights with intense berry and red plum aromas, complemented by subtle notes of fresh woods. On the palate, it’s a rich and intense experience, offering a vibrant texture and finishing long and balanced. The harmonious blend of flavours ensures every sip leaves a lasting impression.

Perfect Serve

Serve at 16-18°C to bring out the wine’s complexity. This versatile red pairs beautifully with grilled beef skewers or a comforting vegetable pie, making it equally at home at a dinner party or a cosy evening in.

Artisan Craftsmanship

This masterful blend of Aragonez, Touriga Nacional, and Syrah is sourced from 12-year-old vineyards planted on granitic and schist soils in Portugal's Alentejo region. Each grape variety is harvested separately, then de-stemmed, crushed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks, preserving the purity of the fruit. The wine undergoes natural malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, enhancing its smooth and balanced profile.
