This wine came from one of our oldest plots planted over 90 years ago and is only declared in years of exceptional quality. Vinha da Ponte (vineyard of the bridge) was only produced in 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2004. The 2000 production was the very first Portuguese table wine to score a classic rate on Wine Spectator: 95 points |
