Vi tog det med makaroner och ost. Under en middag med ett annat par.
Gul, med viss bärnsten på kanten. Man märker tydligt aromen från de vita frukterna. Det är något sött.

Amarelo carregado. No nariz, pude sentir aromas a mel e pólen.Sabia muito a vinho.
Bebemos com um arroz malandro.
Este branco é perfeito para ocasiões especiais.

På Internett er den enklere å finne for salg.
Den har en fin farge. Fremfor alt , Esporao Reserva Branco minnet meg om hvite blomster. Teksturen var bitter.

The Esporão Reserva Branco enhances its golden yellow colour. Curious aromas of citrus.This vintage 2019 t is very young, fresh and cool.
Take it with a seafood.
I bought it at the behest of a friend.

My boss gifted to me.
The darker yellow colour I've seen in the wines of Alentejo. Aromas of banana. I couldn't find any particular flavour.
Would pair it with some kind of special meat.

I had bought it at a store that already closed meanwhile.
Esporão Branco Reserva, deep yellow. Esporão Branco Reserva recalls white fruit. A very well balanced white.
