Herdade do Esporão 2007 A Aragonês (Alentejano)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Smooth as Aragonês should be, here is a concentrated wine with obvious power. Its richness gives a velvet character, but underneath that is a series of dark tannins, brooding black fruits. Age for 3–4 years.

Herdade da Malhadinha Nova 2004 Aragonês da Peceguina (Alentejo)
Great red berry fruits mark this wine made from Portugal’s Tempranillo. But it also has typical firm Portuguese dry tannins and a solid structure, which are underlined by the 6 months’ wood aging. A powerful, dense wine that will age over the next 5 years.

Rich and soft, very smooth, this Alentejo version of Tinta Roriz in the Douro is ripe, rounded, full. It has tannins, although these integrate well with the rounded texture. There is a sense of power, but not overwhelming.

Herdade do Esporão 2002 Aragonês (Alentejano)
- Best Buy
- $20
The Aragonês is the Alentejo's name for the Spanish Tempranillo.This 100% version, with its huge, solid tannins, and layers of spicy wood, is definitely a hot climate wine. It has richness and ripe, almost new world flavors, while still preserving some element of tannin and dryness which would support some aging.

Herdade do Esporão 2004 Aragonês (Alentejano)

The local version of the Spanish Tempranillo, this is a firm, but wood- tinged wine, a core of acidity and black skin flavors giving a dense concentration to the wine, and contrasting with the great finishing acidity.
