VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
Grapes from a single vineyard located in Estreito de Câmara de Lobos in the south coast of Madeira Island. Arresting of fermentation takes place at the desired degree of sweetness by adding vinic alcohol (96%).
LOT
This wine originates from the same single vineyard of Tinta Negra that we produced the 1997 bottling. Half the grapes were harvested a week before they reached full maturation, thus obtaining higher initial acidity levels. This wine was aged along the last 9 years by the canteiro method in old French oak casks. In June of 2010 we bottled 3061 bottles all individually numbered.
