LOT
Between April and the end of October 2007 the wine from cask 44a had suffered an evolution which exceeded our expectations, becoming a little more concentrated, fresher and with an elegant exuberance on the nose and end of mouth. A nice surprise, caused by the long summer we faced in 2007 with unusual high temperatures in the months before and after that season of the year. In January 2008 we bottled 1.026 bottles, all numbered, from a single old French oak cask with 750 liters capacity.

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.
