Alentejo

Herdade do Esporão

With about 700 hectares of vineyards, 40 grape varieties and 4 varieties of olives, orchards and vegetable gardens, Herdade do Esporão is located in the Alentejo, a region with unique conditions for agriculture – wide temperature ranges, poor and varied soils and an extraordinary biodiversity.
As part of the DOC Reguengos de Monsaraz, Herdade do Esporão favours a selection of the best grapes from its terroir and the creativity of its winemakers to produce wines with personality, structure and complexity. Produced in small quantities, these are exclusive wines for intense and intimate moments.
