Esporao Reserva Red
Esporao was founded in 1973 by Jose Roquette and Joaquim Bandeira. Today Joao Roquette, son of co-founder Jose runs the vineyard. They are one of the largest producers of organic wine in Portugal and the world.
Their base is in the Alentejo, but they also make wines from the Douro and Vinho Verde regions of Portugal. Their commitment to sustainability recently earned them a Green Michelin Star for the Herdade do Esporao restaurant.
