Amphora wine tasting in Alentejo at Herdade Foz da Represa, a working estate set among the rolling hills and tranquil flow of the Guadiana River near M\u00e9rtola. Led by Nelson Soares, this is an intimate and thoughtfully curated experience built around one of the oldest winemaking traditions in the world: the amphora, or talha, a large clay vessel used since Roman times to preserve the pure essence of the grape while giving the wine a distinctive freshness and authenticity that no other method produces. Three wines, traditional petiscos, a guided estate tour and a landscape that makes everything taste better.<\/p>

The experience opens with a guided tour of the estate and an introduction to the ancient art of amphora winemaking, exploring how the talhas work, why this method was revived at Herdade Foz da Represa and what makes the wines of M\u00e9rtola genuinely distinct from the rest of the Alentejo. From there you move into the tasting itself: three carefully curated wines of 125ml each, chosen from whites, reds, ros\u00e9s or a mix, each paired with traditional petiscos for a harmonious and unhurried exploration of flavour, aroma and terroir. Nelson’s approach is relaxed and personal throughout, welcoming both seasoned wine enthusiasts and the genuinely curious with equal warmth.<\/p>

I am Nelson Soares and at Herdade Foz da Represa wine is more than a drink. It is a way of life deeply rooted in the land that surrounds us. I offer intimate and thoughtfully curated tastings that celebrate local wines and the stories behind them, in a space that is relaxed and personal and open to everyone from seasoned enthusiasts to the simply curious. My goal with every tasting is the same: that you slow down, connect with the land and enjoy wine the way it is meant to be enjoyed, in good company, surrounded by nature.<\/p>
