Esporão Bio Series Red 2024

Regional Alentejano

Made exclusively from organically farmed grapes grown at Herdade do Esporão. To achieve greater freshness, the earliest-ripening varieties are selected. Fermentation and ageing in concrete vats (with their porosity and neutral aromatic profile) enhance the wine’s freshness and fruit purity, resulting in a direct, vibrant red.
