Catavino: Wine of the Week - Herdade da Malhadinha Nova 2006

  • Andrea · 1 year ago
    I also visited Maladinha Nova in 2006 in which we booked lunch on their estate along with the tour. The variety of tapas-style appetizers and roasted black pork was incredible with their white and reds, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and it's one of the most vibrant memories I have of a winery here :)

    What a wonderful label :-)
    Do you know who is the author ?

    Cheers, Fil.

    It's the owners children who do all of the labels. Wonderfully playful and simple.

    Hey Ryan,

    I actually heard about the survey on Fermentation first (just the order in which I read my blogs). Perhaps you could answer my question.

    What sample size are you waiting to accomplish before you consider it a sufficient measurement for your survey?

    PS-- Agree with Filippo, the label is charming.

    Had the 2003 some six months ago and it was absolutely delicious. Feel the wines from Portugal, specially Alentejo and Douro, require at least some 4 to 5 years to really show their full personality. Indredible how elegant and harmonious this wine was! Very rich, with round and silky tannins, wish I had a few more because this one and only bottle I had, ended way too fast. By the way, the labels are drawings made by the kids in the family, this shows a lot about who they are and what they up to. Salud!
