Tonico De Talha Branco

Description

“This Tonico de Talha feels as though it’s sprung straight from an Alentejo alchemist’s workshop. The initial impact is remarkable – a vibrant, earthy colour, with an aroma that demands your attention, eventually revealing notes of orange marmalade, apricot and a beautifully delicate pear finish. It’s a wine that truly embraces the traditional talha method, boasting a luxuriously full body and firm, yet graceful tannins, all in a remarkably balanced composition. This experimental project, sourced from the old vines of Amareleja, clearly demonstrates that traditional Portuguese winemaking can, indeed, be wonderfully bold. Paired with a perfectly grilled fish, it would undoubtedly amplify the wine's intricate complexity.”
