Why we chose this wine

| Volume | 75.0 cl. |
| Grape Variety | verdelho |
| Drinking window | Unlimited |
| Serveren bij | Cheese and desserts. |
| Alc. | 20.0% |
| Vinification | after skin maceration, for more extraction of flavour components, the juice ferments in open cuves; the fermentation is then stopped by adding aguardente; thus the young fortified wine is born but the ageing in barrel will only really give it its typical madeira character |
| Ripening | classic canteiro method (wood aging) for 5 years |
