Wine Concept

Celebrating 30 vintages by David Baverstock at Esporão. Thirty years of innovation and experience. Rich and silky texture wine that reflects David´s Australian roots.

Agriculture

The 2021 agricultural year was a rainy year. During the vegetative rest period (Autumn – Winter) precipitation values were higher than the average of the last 22 years, with temperatures remaining mild. These precipitation values led to the fact that, at the beginning of the vegetative cycle (Spring), practically all the soils had their water reserves completely reestablished. The budburst occurred earlier, and the higher temperatures observed during the Spring accelerated the vegetative development until flowering. In Summer, milder temperatures contributed to a regular development of the vegetative cycle, allowing maturation to take pace in a regular and balanced manner.

SOIL GEOLOGY
Predominantly clay, deep and well drained, ideal for balanced production, aromatic development and to preserve freshness and to enhance the terroir characteristics.

VINEYARD AGE
Average 25 years.

Grape Varieties

Semillon

Vinification / Maturation

Fermentation took place in French oak barrels , followed by periodic batonnage to provide a rich and silky texture to the wine.
