Teresa Caeiro is the first female winemaker in her village Vila de Frades, in the heart of the Alentejo, Portugal’s heartland. Tradition said women couldn’t make talha wine. As a child, she’d sneak into her grandfather’s winery before dawn to stir the fermenting wine. By the time he arrived, she’d already been winemaking. Teresa took over Gerações da Talha from that same grandfather and makes wine the way Romans made it, in clay amphorae. Fermented spontaneously, punched down by hand. The wine stays in contact with the skins for up to two months, then flows through a spigot—filtered naturally by the grape mass below.
In this workshop, Teresa talks about the Alentejo, its talha-making culture, and what it takes for a woman to claim space in a tradition that excluded her. You’ll taste her traditional Farrapo and contemporary talha wines—orange wine made differently than anywhere else.
A workshop about wine, ancient methods, and breaking through barriers that shouldn’t exist.
