Farrapo Branco 2023
Vinho de Talha · Alentejo, Portugal
Natural Amphora White
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Description
An amphora wine of authenticity, feeling and refinement. This small project — deeply rooted in history and tradition — revives the ancient art of winemaking from Phoenician, Greek and Roman times. In Vila de Frades, the historic heart of Portugal’s Vinho de Talha culture, Teresa and João breathe life into this millennia-old tradition in their atmospheric 200-year-old cellar. Pure and honest stories told in liquid form.
Farrapo Branco 2023 is a wine born of the land where it grows: Vila de Frades, the historic cradle of Portugal’s talha wines. Produced according to the Roman method, with fermentation and extended maceration in clay amphorae for four months (whole skins, seeds and partial stems), this white wine offers austere elegance, earthy texture and natural freshness.
Sourced from old co-planted vines — with a predominance of Antão Vaz — it is crafted without additives or intervention, save for a minimal dose of sulphur at bottling. A raw, expressive and deeply genuine wine.
A full-bodied white where power meets softness, creating a textured, seductive mouthfeel. Rich in character, the wine reveals intense aromas with the subtle mark of amphora-driven micro-oxidation, adding unique depth. Notes of ripe apricot shape the profile, balanced by vibrant freshness and refined structure. A harmonious dance of richness and lightness — a wine of striking personality and complexity, ready to enchant with every sip.
