Quinta do Pégo's cork

Hello,
I just opened a half bottle of Quinta do Pégo 2000. On the cork, it's written :
Quinta
do Pégo
VIRGIN
VINTAGE
2000
Never seen 'Virgin' on a cork. I opened maybe 100-125 vintage ports, so the range is not huge, but it's not my first. What does it mean, and why is this word there ?
Thanks

This was Quinta do Pégo's first Vintage Port. From their web site:
"Quinta do Pégo’s first vintage is Vintage 2000, which is delivered with the text “Quinta do Pégo Virgin Vintage 2000” printed on the cork."

How was it? I still have a couple of bottles of this that I bought very cheap at the Calem lodge when it was just released (at that time, Pego was a single quinta of Calem, now they operate independently).

First time I've heard of something like that as well and all I will say is...no comment
