LOT
Malvasia Cândida was the first vine to be planted on Madeira Island. The Malvasia wine produced in that area soon became the most sought and wanted by all. This Malvasia 1990 is the second controlled bottling made with its roots in that unique property. As a result of the aging in old American oak casks, with capacity for 300 liters, this wine suffered continuous and high concentration throughout the years, which is reflected in its intense and dark color that is accompanied by an elegant acidity in the end of the mouth. In March 2017, 360 bottles were filled, all individually numbered.
