Velha Reserva Bruto 2019 - Lunar New Year Edition
Intro: This “classic” cuvée from Murganheira, Velha Reserva, pays homage to the traditional style of Portuguese sparkling wine.

Both the Brut and Meio Seco expressions share the same blend, with the only difference lying in their sweetness levels, resulting in distinct stylistic profiles while preserving the signature character of the house.
