Grapes from São Jorge Vineyards. Grapes were pressed in a continuous press. Arresting of fermentation takes place at the desired degree of sweetness by adding vinic alcohol (96%).
LOT
In 1946, Mário Barbeito, founded our small company with the aim of producing quality Madeira wines, some in limited quantities. The acidity of wines has always weighed heavily in our choices and this Malvasia was no exception.

SERVING & CELLARAGE
This wine was naturally aged in cask and bottled in its purest state. To show it at its best, serve between 13/14oC. If you get a chance to aerate the wine, it will help the Madeira to show its best features. This wine was filtered and does not require decanting. It will last and maintain in good condition several months once opened.
