Re: Donaldson Bottles

Regardless of the name Donaldson, those are both bottlings that were made through estufagem and not the more elaborate and expensive canteiro process.

Re: Donaldson Bottles

I really understand who is trying selling average/mediocre wine to those who don`t know any better but some bottles taste like rubber like the ones selling on the Supermarket on these days :)

Re: Donaldson Bottles
