I have two lots of Noval 63, one of which has "GARRAFEIRA PARTICUAR DE ALBERTO AUGUSTO LEITE" on the white strip at the bottom of the label. The other has nothing on the white strip.
Any ideas what this is?

Re: Noval 63 Question
Looks like it was probably bottled (presumably in Oporto) for Casa Augusto, a wine and grocery merchant in Porto; see logo on their website.

Re: Noval 63 Question
The white part was often used to put importer's/distributor's/bottler's info there. No clue as to why some have it and some don't.
They also used that white part to put Nacional and other verbiage there.

Re: Noval 63 Question
Makes sense. I've got some Noval 70 where it's got the UK bottler info (Churton's) on the white part.
I'm guessing Noval supplied the labels to the shipper so they're fairly consistent.
