“Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information about the bottling date on the labels of the NV Malvasia 10 Anos Reserva Velha even though the wine I tasted was from July 2025. It has a bright dark amber/orange color and a nutty and expressive nose. It hasd notable sweetness (it has 114 grams of residual sugar) and is clean, round and velvety. It comes in at 19.31% alcohol, with a pH of 3.37 and 6.43 grams of acidity. This is a non-vintage wine that averages 10 years of age in old 620-liter French oak casks, and each blend comes from different lots. This is excellent, but you cannot distinguish it from other bottlings.”
