The Alentejo Talha wines that surprised Robert Parker

In Portugal, the Alentejo region has been a great precursor of talha wines, preserving this millennial culture passed by the Romans, maintaining itself as a unique product also in Portuguese wines.

Over the years, the technique of making wine in talhas has been passed from generation to generation, in an almost immutable way, but even so, there is not only one way of making them, which end up bringing wines full of surprises.

Today we brought some references of talha wines out of the box, which attract the attention of everyone who tries and won a place in the list of the wine critic, Robert Parker.

The wine Herdade de São Miguel Art Terra Amphora Red 2018, comes from a blend between the Aragonêz, Moreto and Trincadeira grape varieties and received 88 points in the list of Robert Parker. It goes through a fermentation process with indigenous yeasts and ages in small clay amphoras for about 3 months. What results in a wine of intense red color, with aromas of red fruits and earthy notes, iodine and eucalyptus, with fine tannins, very pleasant.

Another highlight on the wine critic's list is the José de Sousa Puro Talha Red 2015, with 91 points, made from the Grand Noir, Trincadeira, Aragonêz and Moreto varieties. A wine that reveals a reddish brown color and an aroma of dried fruits, black pepper, clay, evolved but not oxidized. With a robust flavor, with good acidity, tannins present, but soft, showing in the mouth a long and persistente profile.

To close the references of Robert Parker, we also present the Astronauta Vinho de Talha Tinto Red 2016 that received 95 points. A monovarietal made from Moreto that reveals complex fruit aromas, notes of clay and other earthy notes. With a good freshness, long-lasting tannins, it is a wine that surprises by its balance.

We invite you to discover other references available in stores, from the Alentejo region, famous for its Talha wines.
