LOT
We continue to preserve the traditional methods of making and aging Madeira wine. This wine is my first Sercial in Frasqueira category and was produced from grapes grown in Jardim da Serra, on the South Coast of Madeira Island. In 1992, Sercial grape had a short production as it was a rainy year. However, despite all the rain, this wine aged beautifully throughout the last 20 years. This is the reason why we have decided to bottle this Frasqueira which is also a single cask. This Sercial 1992 was aged in an 850 liter old French oak cask with number 72. In March 2013, 1.000 bottles have been filled, all individually numbered.
