LOT
As with the previous blends, this Malvasia 20 year old is the result of a long period of reflection. Ricardo Diogo always looks for his favourite and most balanced wines amongst his inventories, some of them being the last liters left in the casks. Once again, he chose to blend younger wines with older ones. From this marriage of distinct generations, he obtained a wine that at the beginning has a moderate impact on the nose followed by an explosion of elegant flavours where the long acidity at the end of the mouth plays a very important role. In June 2018, 561 bottles were filled, all individually numbered.
