2019 Herdade do Esporão Esporão Reserva
2019 Herdade do Esporão Esporão Reserva
Punching above its weight class, this Portuguese red offers really enjoyable flavours that is sure to please bold wine lovers.
This is a fantastic example of a high-quality Portuguese wine, offering complexity and flavours that is sure to please. Arguably, this is punching above its listed price point, offering more than typically found in this price range. For those bold wine lovers, I believe this is a great option if you have not explored wines from Portugal. For pairings, I personally tried this alongside some BBQ brisket, however this could easily pair well with steak and most beef dishes.
