Cartuxa Talha 2021 Red Wine

Cartuxa Curtimenta em Talha is a unique red wine made from Aragonez, Trincadeira, and Alicante Bouschet, grown in the granitic soils of Quinta de Valbom in Alentejo. After manual harvest and careful grape selection, fermentation takes place in traditional clay amphorae (talhas) dating back centuries. Following fermentation, the wine remains in contact with the skins in post-fermentative maceration until November 11th, in keeping with the ancient Saint Martin’s Day tradition, before being racked and returned to the amphorae for further aging.

Cartuxa Curtimenta em Talha Red Winre presents deep ruby in color, it reveals aromas of wild berries, herbs, and earthy notes combined with the distinctive character imparted by amphora fermentation. On the palate, it is structured yet elegant, with firm tannins, balanced freshness, and a lingering, authentic finish. With 13.5% alcohol, this wine is best served at 16–18 ºC and pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, mushroom-based dishes, and traditional Mediterranean cuisine.
