LOT
This is the first time we choose a Malvasia from 2005 for a new Colheita Single Cask. Cask 133 stood out by showing two characteristics that are indispensable in our wines, elegance and acidity which were influenced by the fact that the wine was aged in two warehouses with similar maturation conditions (d+e). Both have temperatures that are really high during summer and significantly lower in winter. The latter allowed a decrease in the concentration, thus emphasizing acidity and originating a well-balanced wine. In July 2016, 903 bottles have been filled, all individually numbered.
