Honoring Alentejo’s ancient talha (clay amphora) winemaking tradition, the Cartuxa Vinho de Talha 2021 Red Wine offers an authentic taste of the region’s heritage. This unique red displays earthy and mineral-rich aromas, complemented by dark berry notes and hints of spice. On the palate, it is well-structured with a balanced acidity and a smooth finish, imparted by the natural clay aging process. Ideal for pairing with Portuguese cuisine, cured meats, and hearty stews, this wine is a remarkable representation of Alentejo’s historic winemaking techniques.
