D. Luis De Margaride � Garrafeira 1987 (DOC Portugal)
Producer Overview
D. Luis de Margaride is a traditional Portuguese wine label associated with regional, long-aged bottlings. The Garrafeira designation is legally protected and indicates a wine with extended ageing before release typically minimum 2 years in wood and 1 year in bottle, often more for higher-quality estates.
Given its age (1987), the bottle sits firmly in the collector / historic wine category.
Vintage Context � Portugal 1987
1987 was a solid but not exceptional year for Portuguese still wines:
Mild conditions
Balanced fruit and acidity
Long-term aging potential for higher-tier Garrafeira wines
Today, drinkability depends heavily on storage, but many 1980s Garrafeiras remain surprisingly resilient.
