Honrado Talha 2020 White

Honrado Vineyards – Vinho de Talha Artesanal is the result of a family project between father and son, two generations committed to the continuity of the wine from Talha made in Vila de Frades, which is still made here as in Roman times.

History
Natural wine, produced artisanally through the millenarian technique of fermenting the grapes in clay amphoras. This technique which had come from the Roman times, has remained unchanged over more than 2000 years of history, moving thru generations through popular wisdom. It is in the region of Vila de Frades (Vidigueira), a small village with less than 900 inhabitants in the heart of Alentejo, that this tradition has been kept alive, and that is now recognized as "the Capital of the Amphora Wine".

The Original One
“Talha” was the first brand to be released by Honrado Vineyards, and it represents the purest values of the Talha wine concept. It was designed to be the most faithful wine to the ancient production techniques, and that is why we like to call it “our original”. The vinification has occurred with the producer's grapes at the end of August, and the wine was kept in contact with the skins until November 11th. Wine masses were then removed, so the wine could age in clay until March of next year, when bottling happens. Available every year in red and white.
