Farrapo Branco 2021
Region: Alentejo
Producer: Geraçoes da Talha
To value and boost this nectar and dignify the region they named the first wine "Farrapo", an homage to all its inhabitants who are known as "farrapeiros". This nickname derives from their modest garments - farrapos -, worn by the Capuchin Friars during the 16th century, in the chapel of S. Bento in Vila de Frades.

The same talha method as the NaTalha, but this is the version that goes furthest: Antão Vaz, Roupeiro and Perrum stay in the terracotta with all the solids, without intervention. The acidity is the lowest in our whole white range, and that is not a shortcoming but the nature of warm Alentejo grapes in clay: what you get is a broad, almost tea-like wine with a dry, slightly bitter finish. Five years in bottle have only strengthened that roundness.

In Vidigueira, wine has been made in amphorae for 2,000 years, but it was always drunk young and locally. In 2019 Teresa Caeiro bottled her family's talha wines for the first time, introducing the world to this age-old tradition.
