LOT
This Single Harvest results from the mixture of grape must obtained from grapes originated from single vineyards, located in the South and North Coast of Madeira Island. Ricardo Diogo harvested the grapes one week before they reached their full maturation and used a horizontal screw press, obtaining with these two practices, a greater acidity in the musts. The aging process began in March 2010 by the traditional Canteiro method, using old French oak casks. In November of 2021, 3.001 units were bottled, all individually numbered.
