VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
Grapes from São Jorge, north coast. Grapes were pressed in a continuous press.
LOT
Its aging took place in an old French oak cask, at the warehouse Afonso (d) until mid- 2008. In that year, we transferred the cask and the wine to the new winery warehouse (e), factor which contributed to the decrease of the annual concentration process thus avoiding the loss of the wine’s elegance and great freshness in the mouth. From this Malvasia 2000, we filled 1.116 bottles, all individually numbered, in September 2012.

SERVING & CELLARAGE
This wine was naturally aged in cask and bottled in its purest state. To show it at its best, serve between 13oC and low room temperature 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.
