Producer Description

Yellow-gold. On the nose, powerful earth, mineral and honey notes lead the way for focused aromas of green apple, lemon, and unripe mango. On the palate, broad and weighty. Earthy, flinty mineral notes lead the way again here, with high-toned, Chablis-like orchard and stone fruit in the mid palate. The schist shows through on the finish, lending an interesting juxtaposition of finesse with the weight.

Wine Advocate: 91 Points

The 2019 Branco de Talha was aged in old 1,000-liter clay amphorae dating back to the 1900s. This wine is essentially the same as the Branco Ancestral in blend: Roupeiro (40%), Rabo de Ovelha (16%), Arinto (8%), Tamarez (8%) and Alicante Branco (8%), with the rest being a field blend. It comes in very dry (0.4 grams of residual sugar, as against 6.2 of total acidity) and at 12.9% alcohol. As with the Ancestral, the majority of the juice is now from the winery's Vinha Chão do Eremita.

If this isn't the best Branco de Talha from the winery, it is certainly on the short list. It has the typical earthiness anticipated—that's just part of the package; like it or don't like it—a fresh feel and a sensually textured finish. This is on the lighter side, not exactly a stuffed wine, so choose your food pairings carefully. Still, I think it is best suited as a food pairing rather than something drunk on its own. I'm always curious as to how these Talha wines will age. We'll find out in time, but this should hold pretty well. There were 4,170 bottles produced.
