More information
The reserve spur was the first wine produced by Esporão in 1985. He was born of our desire to produce the best wines in Alentejo. Over the years, it was a wine that has led us to innovate, grow, look at our origin, to worry about nature and to see beyond. We adopted sustainable agricultural practices, most recently converted all our vineyards to biological agriculture, built new wineries and traveled to other markets, bringing Alentejo and Portugal to the world.
Art follows the spur from the first moment.
Every year we invite a new artist to illustrate our labels and each work tells a story that is completed within it.
COLOR: Crystalline aspect, straw color with golden nuances.
AROMA: Intense, with citrine and white peach notes well integrated with the barrels toast and spice notes.
Taste: In the mouth it is very elegant and with great freshness, has a long and vibrant ending.
