Winemaker's Background: XXVI Talhas is a project born from the passion and dedication of a group of friends native to Vila Alva. Inspired by the traditional winemaking methods passed down through generations, they have revived Mestre Daniel’s old winery, which houses 26 clay amphorae (talhas). Their mission is to honor and promote the ancient Roman technique of talha winemaking, a practice that has been preserved in their village for centuries. By continuing this tradition, XXVI Talhas aims to reverse the decline in traditional winemaking practices and bring renewed attention to the unique wines of Vila Alva.

Its refreshing character and light body also make it an excellent choice for summer picnics and casual gatherings. Enjoy this wine as an aperitif or with a charcuterie board for a truly authentic Portuguese experience.
