Open topaz, limpid with golden nuance. A very characteristic bouquet, rich of spices, vanilla-like sweets, dried fruits and dried leaf infusions. The palate is sweet at first, then very balanced with freshness, smooth and dense, with a long finish of dried fruits and some spice.
Production Notes
The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks until a neutral grape spirit brandy is added to stop the fermentation. Following fermentation, the wines undergo the ‘canteiro’ process used for fine Madeiras. They are placed in a lodge in American oak casks and heated solely by the sun’s warmth for 14 years. This heating process oxidizes the wine, giving it a very long life and its characteristic nutty, rich flavors.
Other Notes
Decanting will help remove any deposit that may have occurred in bottle over time. A wine that should be enjoyed served chilled.
