Esporão Aragonez 2017: the details of a new vintage

First produced in the 1990s, Esporão Aragonez is the culmination of a set of thoughtful decisions implemented throughout the vineyard and the winery. Esporão Aragonez 2017 is a red wine of enormous aromatic elegance, concentrated and with excellent aging potential, reflecting the Canto do Zé Cruz vineyard, one of the oldest at Herdade do Esporão.

Vinified at Adega dos Lagares, with foot-treading and fermentation in marble lagares, its ageing potential was heightened by one-year’s ageing in new French oak barrels and five long years in the bottle.

Intensely garnet in colour, Esporão Aragonez 2017 is well-balanced, with a strong personality where the freshness and tannins typical of the Aragonez variety stand out, along with a long, elegant finish. This is an exquisitely crafted wine to be enjoyed over time.
