Hi all,
Bought at auction in a mixed bag of vintage ports was this unusual wine. It's from Portugal and closed with a champagne style wired cork. Can anyone help with info on it.

My family used to buy this as a quaffer in the 70's. From memory it is Mateus like in style, apart from the "crackling" part.
From the 1966 vintage, this is highly likely to be dead - and have been dead for 30 years. Goodness knows why anyone kept this,
cheers
