Tinto do Pote de Barro is a project in the Signature Series line that seeks to find the profile of an old "talha wine" using
old blended vines and the ancient process of vinification in talha.
It couldn't be called "Talha" wine because the committee wouldn't let it, and it couldn't even be "Alentejo" because the committee didn't like it. And so our punishment essay remained in the corner of the room, reduced to a dignified and humble clay pot, in keeping with the image of the wine.
Ruby-colored wine, medium concentration, nose with red fruits, some notes of black pepper, choir, cigarette box. In the
mouth, textured but tense, fresh and tannic. It's an Alentejo that once existed and at the same time an Alentejo destined to
return.
Ideal for pairing with casserole dishes such as bochechas, stews and casseroles.
The grapes are grown under a certified organic regime and are dry-farmed, without irrigation. Our vineyards are also all certified under the Alentejo sustainability program.
Manual harvest at night on 350kg pallets. Selection on a sorting table. Gravity tank filling. Spontaneous alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in old Alentejo vats dating from 1906 to 1945. Post-fermentation maceration for 2 months.
Ageing in clay amphorae for 90 days.
