Product details
The wine was aged in oak barrels for a total of 30+ years and started its own aging program whereby the wine was gently heated by warm air in the lofts of the south-facing lodge in Funchal. Over the years the wine was transferred from the top floor to the middle floor and eventually to the ground floor where temperatures were cooled. The wine was regularly racked during the aging process and finally bottles when the desired balance of maturity was reached. Bottled in 2023.
