Sendo 2018 o nosso primeiro ano de produção, deixa-nos bastante orgulhosos (e com um sentido de responsabilidade acrescido) ver estas pontuações atribuídas aos nossos vinhos:

Excelentes avaliações, atribuídas a todos os produtores, valorizam o trabalho de quem procura manter esta tradição viva.

Made in clay (1): Talha Day, a festival of amphora wines

 Jamie Goode and Treve Ring attend Amphora Wine Day at Herdade do Rocim in the Alentejo, Portugal. In this two part series, there are notes on all the wines tasted – a really interesting selection.
*Goode has scored the wines, Ring has not, but she has starred the most impressive of the tasting

Adega Marel

These Alentejo wines come from a warm area near Spain.

Manolito Branco 2018 Alentejo, Portugal

A blend of stainless steel and Talha, with a field blend in the Talha and Antao Vaz in stainless steel, both on skins. Fruity, smooth and textured with a bit of skin character, rounded out by the stainless steel ferment fruitiness. Textural, pretty and smooth with nice sweet pear fruit. Very stylish. 91/100 (JG)
A blend of stainless (Antao Vaz, on lees) and 700L talha (old vine field blend on skins), this tight and tea grippy white sings with orange pith, tangerine, and a light bed of lees. Quite sharp (TR)

Tonico Tinto 2019 Alentejo, Portugal

This is a Talha opened last Wednesday, 900 litre capacity. Very distinctive with stony, incense-like notes with some rich pear and peach fruit. Very grippy and distinctive with some herbal hints. So unusual. 86-88/100
From the same vineyards as the Manolito Branco, this talha was filled from the top, and drawn from the bottom. Butterscotch and peach cordial fill the round, somewhat heavy palate, grippy and herbal. (TR)

Manolito Tinto 2018 Alentejo, Portugal

Moreto in Talha, Trincadeira in stainless steel. Fresh and a bit minty with pure raspberry and cherry fruit. Nice grippy structure: a lovely compact wine with fresh sweet fruit. 92/100 (JG)
Moreto (in talha) and Trincadeira (in stainless) come together in this fresh, bright, tight red, with bitter dark cherry, dark violet perfume, and light smoke rings. Lovely energy here. (TR)

Tonico Tinto 2019 Alentejo, Portugal

This is nutty and a bit mousy at first with bright cherries and spice and some raspberry grip. 84-86/100 (JG)
Savoury, meaty, salted, with smoke and sticky tannins ruling. This was moreto entirely in talha (TR)
