XXVI Talhas 

XXVI Talhas Mestre Daniel Branco Talha X 2019

11.5% Vinho de Talha DOC. A blend of Antão Vaz, Diagalves, Perrum, Rupeiro, Mantuedo, others from a single parcel of old mixed field blend of pure white varieties planted mid-century. Deep amber colored. Spicy apricot pit and orange skin aromas. A visceral wine with skin tannins and acidic structure felt throughout. Impressively concentrated without thickness, finely balanced wine. Somewhere between an orange wine and Tareco. Fruit evolution is in keeping with the Tareco 2020, just denser, more compacted and longer. If you close your eyes, you can almost imagine it to be a red wine. 94
