LOT
Amongst the canteiro aged wines, Ricardo Diogo selected the Malvasias he enjoyed most to create an exclusive blend limited to 1550 individually numbered bottles. This wine is the result of a blend of very old wines with some much younger. Although being a 30 year old wine it was of great importance for him to keep Barbeito’s unique style in this blend: well balanced with a long and fresh acidity at the end of mouth.

TASTING NOTES AND HARMONIES
Amber Colour.
Lush bouquet! Sandal wood, exotic notes and smoked. Hints of balsamic, clove, licorice and caramelized walnuts. Oily, sophisticated palate, racy acidity yet, with a super subtle finish and finesse.
PRESS COMMENTS
“Bright dark orange with a greenish rim. Very dense and heady and interesting. Such “twang”- very tense and reverberant. So complex! So intense and nervy yet with lots of richness. Like a palate scrub. A very exciting wine indeed.” Jancis Robinson in
