LOT
This is the third time we choose a Malvasia 2002 for a new Colheita single Cask. In 2003, Cask 87 began its maturation process in the Afonso warehouse (d), where temperatures are much warmer from May to September. In 2011, it was transferred to our winery warehouse (e) where temperatures are held constant throughout the year and are never too high.
In August 2017, 621 units were bottled, all individually numbered.
