Gerações da Talha - Teresa Caeiro
Gerações da Talha is a winery that has been around for several generations, in Vila de Frades focused on the production and dissemination of the genuine art of making Talha Wine and where we can count 50 pots (all of them from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries)
In our wines, we strictly follow the great-grandfather's production method, manual harvesting, traditional grape varieties, ... During the 4 months that the wine is in the pot, it is found on the pasta (what we call "mother"). This mother is very important, because it is what will make us have to move the pots 2 to 3 times a day, during fermentation (about 3 weeks), with the wooden squeegee, so that the pot does not break and to enhance the transfer of all compounds from the grape to the wine. Then, when the cold weather arrives, around S. Martinho or in December, it's time to open the hoists, placing a tap on the underside of the hoist. It is through this tap that the wine will pass, as it passes through "the mother" and comes out clean and completely filtered.
(in this whole process we only use minimal doses of sulphites at the time of bottling)
