Help identify an old bottle

I have bought this bottle thinking it was a bottle of vintage port.
After looking at the label, I doubt that.
I now think may be its a colheita Moscatel. Any one of you who has an idea?

Sedielos is a small town in the Vila Real district of Portugal, which is in the Baixo Corgo part of the Douro DOC.
Google Maps
I can't find anything about a Jos[e] Rodrigu[es|z] in Sedielos, but if it was a small producer in 1925 then it may no longer exist. Note that to be properly centered there was likely a 3rd name following Jose Rodrigues on the label. There's also clearly a missing word after Sedielos that's part of the region declaration. The partial letter looks like either a B or an E to me.
I agree that it's probably a Moscatel and not a Vintage Port. It does pretty clearly seem to say Moscatel on the one label.

Thank you Glenn for the quick response. Do you know if they use the same methods with Moscatel (de Setubal?)? I mean with 2 years (in some cases 3 years) on barrel for a vintage. Or is it just coincidence.

This would be Moscatel do Douro, not Moscatel de Setubal. Unfortunately I don't really know much about Moscatel do Douro, but others here probably do and will hopefully answer.

Thank you again! I hope someone can give me more information about the bottle.
