LOT
In 2007 this wine was our initial choice for the bottling of the first Malvasia 2000 in the “Colheita” category. However, the bottling date suffered a 6 month delay. After this period and after the end of the 2007 summer, re tasting all the Malvasia 2000 casks, ending up choosing to bottle cask 44a. This decision to wait showed just how much it was worth to subject this wine to an extraordinarily hot 2007 summer, enabling it to become concentrated, building its foundations so that it could easily acquire and fully integrate the effects of the exuberance and lively energetic acidity that the long and cold winters of 2007 and 2008 provoked. We bottled 825 bottles (500ml) all individually numbered.

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.
