Mestre Daniel branco 2022
Region: Alentejo
Producer: XXVI Talhas
Mestre Daniel white is a blend of two amphorae (one of 800 and one of 900 litres) from the collection of 26 bequeathed by Daniel. It is not only a tribute to the man but also immediately the project's 'flagship' wine.| Volume | 75.0 cl. |
| Grape Variety | Antão vaz, Perrum and Roupeiro |
| Drinking window | 2023-2028 |
| Alc. | 13.0% |
| Vinification | Total destemming and slight crushing. |
| Ripening | Fermented with maceration and contact with the masses for three months in clay pots, without temperature control and with indigenous yeasts. It was not submitted to any filtration or stabilization process. The filtration only occurs through the passage of the liquid by the masses present in the talha. |
Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Daniel left behind a collection of twenty-six amphorae, and this wine comes out of them: fully destemmed, lightly crushed, and then fermented with continuous skin contact — no temperature control, with native yeasts only. That sustained skin contact is what sets it apart from the other talhas: there is real grip in it, almost tannin, above a core of yellow fruit and dried herbs. Antão Vaz, Perrum and Roupeiro, and nothing that steers the process.
