LOT
Since the foundation of Vinhos Barbeito, in 1946, and for many years Mr. Manuel Eugénio Fernandes has supplied Sercial and Verdelho grapes to our company. He had a very special relationship with the family maintaining weekly visits to our old winery, in most of which Ricardo Diogo had the great privilege of being present. This Sercial 1993 is the third wine of a series of bottlings that pay tribute to Mr. Manuel Eugénio as a way of enduring the long-term relationship between our families. In April 2019, 640 bottles have been filled, all individually numbered. For further suggestions, visit our website.
