Gerações Da Talha

A Winery Since the Eighteenth Century

Gerações Da Talha is a historic winery with roots in winemaking dating back to the mid-18th century. Nestled in Vila de Frades, at the heart of Alentejo, this winery is renowned for producing Talha Wines, an integral part of the region's wine culture. Here, ancestral traditions blend seamlessly with generations of expertise, creating a unique approach to winemaking that respects the past while embracing the future.

The Family Behind Gerações Da Talha

This family-owned winery was founded by Francisco Nogueira Anacleto and has been lovingly passed down to his daughter and son-in-law, Professor Arlindo Maria Ruivo. With a deep passion for winemaking, Professor Ruivo has dedicated his life to preserving the family legacy. Today, his children and grandchildren continue this tradition through their project, ‘Generations of Talha,’ which aims to maintain the authenticity and quality of Talha wines while promoting traditional winemaking techniques.

Unique Winemaking Techniques of Da Talha

Vila de Frades is recognized as the capital of Talha Wine, a title supported by centuries-old winemaking practices introduced by the Romans. Archaeological findings at the Vila Romana de São Cucufate further highlight this rich history. At Gerações Da Talha, wines are fermented in traditional clay pots, a method that enhances both color and flavor, resulting in wines with exceptional character. The winery benefits from its prime location between Évora and Beja, where the unique terroir and climate contribute to the high-quality grapes used in crafting their renowned Talha wines.
