The 2022 XXVI Tinto is a fascinating expression of Portugal's ancient talha winemaking tradition, where fermentation and aging take place in large clay amphorae, much as they did in Roman times. Produced in the village of Vila Alva in Alentejo from a field blend dominated by Aragonez (Tempranillo), Trincadeira, and Tinta Grossa, the wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts in centuries-old clay vessels, without temperature control and with minimal intervention.
