In March 2019, 2.986 bottles have been filled, all individually numbered. Light golden. Aroma of crystallized fruits, yellow fruit jam, dried flower, ripe citrus and pistachio. Delicate honeyed palate, nice balanced acidity, finish long and fresh.

Vinhos Barbeito was founded in 1946 by Mário Barbeito de Vasconcelos and has since then always been run by members family. Nature plays an important role in the production of their wines. They take advantage of the fact that they are aged in three distinct warehouses, all with different climatic characteristics and different sun exposers. This fact enables them to obtain an enormous variety of wines aged by the Canteiro method. All of these characteristics contribute to Barbeito's unique style: long and fresh acidity after taste.
