XXVI Talhas Palhete do Tareco Red 2023

The XXVI Talhas Palhete do Tareco Red 2023 is a distinctive Portuguese wine from Alentejo, crafted using traditional vinification methods in clay amphorae. This unique red wine is a field blend of red and white grape varieties, including Aragonêz, Trincadeira, Tinta Grossa, Antão Vaz, Roupeiro, and Diagalves.

The wine is unfiltered and unrefined, preserving its natural character.

The resulting wine presents a mild salmon-red color and complex aromas of cherry and wood. On the palate, it reveals a great balance of acidity and freshness, with a well-structured body. With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine offers a unique tasting experience that reflects the traditional winemaking practices of the region.
