In the latest edition of The Revista dos Vinhos (Portugal's equivalent of the Wine Spectator) Esporao White Reserva 2012 was awarded the Grand Prize in the still white category by The Portuguese Press 2013.

The 2012 also happens to sport my favorite label art in recent history. Esporao, if you remember, commisions new artwork by Portuguese artists each vintage from it's reserva tier on up through the Garrafeiras. This series is by Felipe Oliveira Baptista and you can learn more about the artist and his vision for the series at the Esporao blog, notesfromesporao. http://notesfromesporao.com/2013/05/graphic-thoughts-artist-felipe-oliveira-baptista-marries-values-and-landscapes-for-esporao-reserva%E2%80%99s-25th-anniversary/
