Madeira D.O.P
GRAPE VARIETIES
Boal & Tinta Negra
VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
Boal from São Vicente and Campanário and Tinta Negra from Câmara de Lobos. Grape must from Tinta Negra was obtained through foot treading and Boal from continuous press. Arresting of fermentation takes place at the desired degree of sweetness by adding vinic alcohol (96%).
BLEND
"The Ribeiro Real vineyards from Estreito de Câmara de Lobos spread over the south side of Madeira, fully exposed to the sun at an elevation of about 200 metres above sea level. Great Madeira wines originated in this locality, such as Favila Tinta Negra. We continue to preserve the traditional methods of making and aging Madeira wine. We selected our best Boal wines and blended it with old wines from over 100 year old Tinta Negra from Ribeiro Real, this wine is another homage to the history of Madeira wine." 1296 bottles were filled in May 20014, all individually numbered.
