We have fallen in love with the XXVI Vinho de Talha Branco do Tareco 2022 ! Complex nose of dried fruits, ginger and pineapple with hints caraway. Very well balanced with good structure, citrus, tropical fruits and good salinity. A long, dry and slightly nutty finish. Yum, yum.

Daniel Parreira and Ricardo Santos started the winery with the 26 Talhas and a cellar inherited by Daniel from his grandfather.

XXVI refers to the 26 Talhas that the winery uses to ferment their wine. Tareco is the name for the small Roman clay vessels that the local population in Alentejo use at home to make wine for their own consumption. 

One of the rules for the wine to be DOC Vinho de Talha is the total vinification from start to finish must be in clay vessels and the opening of the Talha can only occur on 1th November, just after the Festa de São Martinho, either for filling in bottles or for consumption.

Perfect accompaniment to your favourite salty snack or fish dish and amazing value.
