13.5% Vinha do Talha DOC. Made from 60-year-old vines with predominant Trincadeira blended with Moreto and Castelao, fermented in large local talha, then shifted after St. Martin’s Day for 6 month maturation in 600 liter modern, Roman-inspired Dolium-shaped pots made by Artenova near Florence. Mix of dried herb and red fruit notes, with emphasis on freshness, acidity and aromas. Fine, tight tannins and long clean, juicy finish. Nice wine, which should continue to evolve positively. 93-94
