Furthermore, this region is one of the main producers of cork oak, the source of cork. Viticulture is a third important factor in this region.

A gem from the Esporão winery. This Reserva is a classic wine made from grapes grown in Herdade do Esporão. This wine showcases the consistency and rich character of the best Alentejo wines.

Originally founded in 1267, it wasn't purchased until 1973 by José Roquette to fulfill his dream. He was a banker with a passion. He wanted to create a magnificent wine estate with vineyards growing in the mineral-rich, volcanic soils of the Alentejo region in southeastern Portugal. Besides an excellent foundation, the grapes also benefit from the climate. Warm days alternate with cool nights, which is beneficial for the ripening process. Today, the winery owns 450 hectares of vineyards, and at full capacity, Esporão produces approximately seven million liters of wine annually. It's a huge operation, with David Baverstock as its successful winemaker. The vines are planted in granite, loam, and clay soil. The vineyard is 18 years old and is meticulously maintained. The grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed immediately. A cold maceration lasts several hours before the grapes are pressed. The grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks and new American and French oak barrels, with aging on the fine lees. Finally, the wine is aged for another six months in stainless steel tanks and oak barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e The smell and taste of Esporão Reserva White\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The Reserva Whit is straw yellow with a green tinge.

The vineyards are rich in granite, clay, and loam, and the vines are approximately 16 years old. The region is best known for its red wines, but white grapes also thrive here.
