Made Slowly
In Portugal
From the attention to detail and patient waiting, a new Monte Velho was born – Monte Velho Reserva.
It all started with the careful selection of grapes, coming from the various Alentejo regions, and the grape varieties: Aragonez, Trincadeira, Syrah and Touriga Nacional. Then, time. If Monte Velho is made slowly, Reserva is made even slower, with an aging phase in barrels for 8 months.
Monte Velho Reserva 2021 has an elegant, balanced and complex profile.
It is a wine with a gastronomic profile, for all occasions.
Discover it. With time.
Four stories to get to know Monte Velho from the inside.
We will closely follow the working days of those who take care of Monte Velho, the people who help create the essence of our iconic wine. They are, among others, Amândio, our Agricultural Director, Catarina, one of our grape growers, Inácio, our cellar master, and João, our red wine winemaker. These are just four of the people who contribute to this story day-by-day.
These are four (out of many) stories that give rise to one story—that of Monte Velho.
Made slowly in Portugal, by all of us.
Meet the family Monte Velho
Monte Velho is a wine made, over time, at Herdade do Esporão. Produced from sustainably grown fruit harvested across a number of Alentejo sub-regions, Monte Velho carries the Esporão seal of quality and a consistency conferred by 30 years of history and trust. It follows nature's rhythm, as measured out by the hands of those who produce it and the expertise that guides them. No matter how long it takes, it all comes down to the pleasure of tasting it.
