Esporão Trincadeira

RED 2024 • DOC ALENTEJO

Wine Concept

Trincadeira is an emblematic grape variety of the Alentejo that, for many years, gradually lost prominence in the region. In recent decades it has shown a high adaptability to climate change, once again establishing itself as a variety of great interest. It produces young, fresh and intense wines, with good ageing potential. Wines that revive the memory of an Alentejo defined by balance and elegance, where freshness and authenticity come together in perfect harmony.
