VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
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
Separated from the lees in November 1994 and transferred to a small stainless tank where it remained until March 2004. The wine was then transferred to cask 276 a where it aged by the traditional canteiro method on our family's property. In March 2006 we hand filled from cask 276 a, 942 bottles of 500ml, all numbered individually.

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.
