XXVI Talhas 

XXVI Talhas Mestre Daniel Branco 2019

13% Vinho de Talha DOC. A blend of mostly Antão Vaz, Perrum and Rupeiro.  A step up in quality, this is darker and more golden than Tareco. Similarly it offers stronger, more dense aromas of apple skins, flower stems, cooked pears, with similar flavors. Denser and more concentrated in the mouth, it carries an edgier structure with more skin tannins and acidity powering length of flavor. A much more gastronomic style, less refreshing than the Tareco. It cut through grilled tuna perfectly. 24 hours later, it developed a honeyed marmalada (Portuguese version made with quince fruit), like carmelized citrus/orange) character and deeper, darker shaded fruitiness. 89
