A traditional Alentejo skin-contact white made from old-vine Portuguese varieties and aged in clay talha. Several months on the skins give the wine added texture, gentle grip, and a savory edge, while the fruit stays fresh and citrus-driven. Bright acidity, floral notes, and a mineral feel keep it lively and balanced.

About XXVI Talhas

XXVI Talhas isn’t just a winery—it’s a tribute to tradition, a love letter to the past, and a celebration of community. Nestled in the heart of Vila Alva, a small village in Alentejo, Portugal, this project was born from a deep respect for the ancient Roman winemaking technique of talha—fermenting wine in large clay amphorae.

For generations, families in Vila Alva have gathered around these earthen vessels, crafting wines that speak of time, soil, and heritage. A group of friends, who grew up watching their elders carefully tend to the talhas, decided that this beautiful tradition shouldn’t fade into history. They restored the Adega do Mestre Daniel, where 26 original talhas still stand, and breathed new life into the ancient craft.

About the Region

Alentejo, Portugal

Alentejo, stretching across southern Portugal, is a region where rolling plains meet sun-drenched vineyards, and time seems to flow at a slower pace. Known for its sweeping landscapes, whitewashed villages, and warm hospitality, Alentejo has become one of Portugal’s most celebrated wine regions.

The climate here is warm and dry, with hot summers and cool nights—perfect conditions for ripening grapes while preserving their freshness. The region's diverse soils, from granite and schist to limestone and clay, give winemakers a rich palette to craft wines that balance power and elegance. Alentejo is renowned for both red and white wines. Reds are often bold, full-bodied, and fruit-forward, with velvety tannins and notes of ripe berries, spices, and earthy warmth.
