Winemaker:
Historien bag Monte Velho:
" Launched for the first time in 1992, its name comes from the monte
located next to the Caridade reservoir, at Herdade do Esporão. At the
time, the wine boasted the same origin and philosophy as Esporão Reserva
but was created to reach more people and make daily wine consumption an
experience.
Produced according to the region’s winegrowing tradition, the variety
of grapes and vinification techniques demonstrate the character of the
region from whence it comes: rich aromas, a smooth palate and an
excellent gastronomic bent.
Made with grapes from throughout the region, it is the result of
partnerships lasting over 15 years with suppliers from the different
sub-regions, who use the same integrated production system as Esporão.
These sustainable practices, which preclude the use of pesticides and
herbicides, are crucial to soil quality and fertility, which provide the
vineyard with natural protection that influences the quality of the
wines.
Ever faithful to its roots, Monte Velho is the Alentejo in a glass,
coming to represent a benchmark of the region in Portugal and the world
over the years. "
