BONUS EPISODE (2): Esporão

Herdade do Esporão has a huge range of wines from the entry level Monte Velho to the once-in-a-blue-moon Torre…with all sorts of wines in between.

Former Esporão winemaker João Ramos treated us to an in-depth tasting…we’ve edited down the best bits for this week’s bonus content

These are some of the Alentejo wines that you are most likely to find all over the world.

There are links to UK and US suppliers below so you can order the wines and drink along with João Ramos’ amazing tasting.

João’s moved on - back to Setúbal - and also makes his own amazing wines…but the wines he talked us through were wines made on his watch!

Of course the best way to try these wines is to come and visit!

Esporão serve the most amazing lunches, dinners, tastings and pairings at their winery (and Michelin starred restaurant) in Alentejo…or you could come to see us in Vale das Estrelas and we’ll sort you out!

As promised, here are the places where you can buy Esporão wines in the US and UK. If you speak to real people, do mention us when you buy (we don’t get a cut, but it’d be good for us if you could let them know!)
