2009: Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States. A Madeira from this vintage is a living piece of history — a wine that has been ageing for generations, owing its character to decades of patient cask maturation. Vintage Madeira 2009, made from the Tinta Negra grape. An authentic, traditionally aged Madeira in the versatile style, with the depth and complexity that only decades of cask ageing can bring.| Volume | 50.0 cl. |
| Grape Variety | Tinta Negra – the island's most widely planted Madeira grape, versatile enough to approach any of the classic styles (dry to sweet), depending on vinification. |
| Drinking window | Ready to drink now — thanks to the nature of Madeira, this wine remains stable for many years, both in bottle and after opening. |
| Alc. | 19.0% |
| Vinification | Traditional Madeira vinification: after fermentation, the Tinta Negra must is fortified (mutage) with neutral grape spirit, in a style that retains both body and lively acidity. |
| Ripening | Aged for more than 17 years using the traditional canteiro method: in oak casks in the naturally heated lodges (armazéns) of the wine house, giving the Madeira its characteristic oxidative character and remarkable longevity. |
