Mark Squires :orangewine:<a href="https://epicure.social/@amnis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@amnis</a> There is a lot of Amphora winemaking these days....it seems to be a trend. Some are more successful than others! I find some that are shockingly good; others seem flawed. So it goes. I have never seen one in Piemonte!This is a picture I took of the Amphora Museum in Alentejo, a region where it is particularly popular in Portugal. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wine</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/amphora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amphora</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portugal</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/alentejo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alentejo</a>

Mark Squires :orangewine:Part 5 (the last part!) There was also the 2022 "fresh from Amphora" Nat'Cool Branco offering with Niepoort too, with Perrum, Rabo de Ovelha and Manteúdo. This was straightforward, but bright, clean and lively. For $20 for one liter, it a best buy. Amphora wines can be a little pricier at times, although Rocim's own Branco Vinho de Talha was just $20 (750ml). Not the best, but good QPR.Lots of good things to explore. Nice job from Rocim and partners. <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/Wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wine</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/winesofportugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#winesofportugal</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/alentejo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alentejo</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/amphora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amphora</a>

Mark Squires :orangewine:Final stop this trip: Rocim's Amphora Day. It is pretty crowded, they've got a lot of wineries, a lot of consumers, and a very good vibe.

World History EncyclopediaThe pottery of the Mycenaean civilization (1550-1050 BCE), although heavily influenced by the earlier Minoans based on Crete, nevertheless, added new pottery shapes to the existing range and achieved its own distinctive decorative style which was strikingly homogenous across Mycenaean Greece. <a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/article/455/mycenaean-pottery/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.worldhistory.org/article/455/mycenaean-pottery/</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Aegean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aegean</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amphora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amphora</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BronzeAge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BronzeAge</a>

World History EncyclopediaBlack figure pottery is a type of Greek pottery named after the colour of the scenes painted on vessels. It was first produced in Corinth c. 700 BCE and then adopted by pottery painters in Attica, where it would become the dominant decorative style from 625 BCE. Athenian vases then dominated the Mediterranean pottery market for the next 150 years. <a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/Black_Figure_Pottery/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.worldhistory.org/Black_Figure_Pottery/</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amphora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amphora</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BlackFigurePottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackFigurePottery</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FrancoisVase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrancoisVase</a>

World History EncyclopediaThe François Vase is a large Attic volute-krater dating to c. 570-565 BCE, and it is perhaps the example par excellence of the black-figure pottery style. An astonishing range of scenes and characters from Greek mythology cover the vase and make it an important reference for these stories, some of which no longer exist in written form. <a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/Francois_Vase/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.worldhistory.org/Francois_Vase/</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amphora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amphora</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BlackFigurePottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackFigurePottery</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FrancoisTomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FrancoisTomb</a>

Boyce :verified: :orangewine:More skin-contact white wines made in China, this time by Canaan winery just outside of Beijing.- The Riesling has 1 month of skin contact in amphora, then 6 months of aging in old oak.- The white blend, with Muscat, Chenin Blanc, Ehrenfelser, Müller-Thurgau and more, has 6 weeks of skin contact in stainless steel. Both wines are fresh and floral, with that Riesling having ample lemon-y character, while the white blend's aromas dance all over the place: chrysanthemum, passion fruit, jasmine, citrus peel and more.Anyway, I brought back one bottle of each to include in my next tasting in Beijing.

Simon J Woolf :orangewine:2 weeks ago I was in the Alentejo (southern Portugal), drinking wine straight from talhas (large clay jars traditionally used in Alentejo for fermenting & ageing wine).The many small adegas in the villages of Cuba, Vila Alva, Vila de Frades and Vidigueira all open their doors and their talhas around St. Martin's day. That's when the new wine is deemed ready to drink. Think of it like Alentejo Nouveau!Tonight I uncorked XXVI Talha's Tinto do Tareco 2021 - a nouveau style that was bottled in November 2021. Now tasting utterly brilliant - juicy, with bright berry fruit and a subtle and delicious smoky, earthy character.The photo here shows the traditional glass used in these cellars.I love this tradition, for its simplicity and conviviality. Drinking these wines from the bottle is *almost* heresy. They were always meant to be quaffed straight from the clay.<a href="https://epicure.social/tags/wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wine</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/naturalwine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturalwine</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/portugal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portugal</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/talha" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#talha</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/alentejo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alentejo</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/portuguesewine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#portuguesewine</a> <a href="https://epicure.social/tags/amphora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amphora</a>
