Various different National Associations of the Order of Malta set up stands in the lobby of the Solitude Hotel in Lourdes and sell items ranging from nice accessories for uniforms to souvenirs. I saw this bottle of wine at the Portuguese stand and they told me it was a 40 year old port and at a very reasonable price. Of course I bought it. However, it was not easy to find out about it though. Googling the Quinta leads me to a hotel, but Canelas and Regua are both in Port country in upper Duoro. So it is likely that it is a port wine of some sort from an unknown maker, or even something that they kept aside for the family (as Garraferia Familiar would suggest). We'll find out when we get round to tasting it.
