1987: the Erasmus exchange programme was founded, since giving millions of European students the chance to study abroad. 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 1987, made from the Terrantez grape. An authentic, traditionally aged Madeira in the rare, complex style, with the depth and complexity that only decades of cask ageing can bring.| Volume | 75.0 cl. |
| Grape Variety | Terrantez |
| 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. | 20.0% |
| Vinification | Traditional Madeira vinification: after fermentation, the Terrantez must is fortified (mutage) with neutral grape spirit, in a style that retains both body and lively acidity. |
| Ripening | Aged for more than 39 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. |
