This is a wine for special occasions that combines the universal culture of wine and art, via the reproduction of original works of art on its labels. This powerful red wine has exhibits hints of black fruit jam with spices, like black pepper & cloves, combined with notes of coffee berries and cigars. In the mouth, it is intense and dense, but with robust tannins, affording it structure and complexity and suggesting good potential for aging in the bottle. Every year, an artist is ordered to make a new label for the bottle. Label illustrated by Anne Geene.
 
The first wine made by Esporão in 1985. Obtained from grapes grown at Herdade do Esporão, it shows the consistency and rich character typical of the best Alentejo wines 
Food pairing
Excellent, powerful red wine, delicious with grilled or roasted meat dishes

After a dry and cold winter, an early rainy spring followed restoring soil moisture levels suitable for the beginning of the vegetative cycle. The fact that spring temperatures and even mid-summer temperatures were milder than in previous years led to a delay of the cycle but allowed for good plant development. In early August, a heat wave of five consecutive days, with temperatures exceeding 43 degrees and accompanied by strong gusts of wind, caused severe damage in varieties more sensitive to this type of conditions, leading to production losses. However, in most of our vineyards, where grape varieties are better adapted to these events, maturation occurred slowly and regularly thus preserving the freshness and aromatic intensity of white wines and the texture, concentration and complexity of red wines.
 
Matured for 12 months in 60% American oak and 40% French oak barrels. After bottling, the wine ripens in the bottle 8 months before being put on the market
