Producer Info
This wine originates from a single vineyard located in the lower slopes of Estreito de Caimara de Lobos, in the south coast of Madeira Island. I harvested half of the grapes a week before they reached full maturation, thus obtaining higher acidity levels. This characteristic was reinforced by the use of continuous press in the winemaking process. In March 2008, I started the aging process of this wine by the traditional Canteiro method, under moderate temperatures, in old French oak casks. In May 2018, 2.378 bottles have been filled.
