VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
Grapes from São Jorge in the north coast. Grapes were pressed in a continuous press.
LOT
2000 was one of the best years from the last decade for wines made from the Malvasia grape. It is truly a great pleasure to taste these wines and choosing one represents an enormous challenge in which intuition is the key when making the final decision. This is the fifth single cask of Malvasia 2000. Cask 224 immediately caught my attention, showcasing all of the exuberance of this grape, and an acidity that keeps growing in the end of mouth.
In April 2014, 1.111 units were bottled, all individually numbered.
