Product details
Aged in American oak casks in the traditional 'Canteiro' method for 10 years. This includes a gentle heating of the wine in the loft of the lodges in Funchal. Over the years the wine is transferred from the top floors intermediate floors, and eventually to the floor at ground level where it is cooler. After this gradual 'aging, the wine is clarified and filtered before being bottled.

Verdelho
Tasting Notes:
Medium amber, barley sugar colour. Refined, fine barley sugar and lemon drop nose. Quite clean and aromatic, with not much wood or oxidation influence showing. Palate is medium bodied and pretty dry, with a serious backbone of lemon and grapefruit acidity running through it, and quite delicate tea, orange and toffee brittle flavour. It is a little harsh in the finish, with moderate length, but is has good character.
