Verdelho tends to produce wines that are a little leaner, more vibrant and higher in acidity. This single cask also comes from the north coast, but more centrally located in Sao Vicente.

The grapes for this 2007 Verdelho were harvested in the second week of September and were pressed in a horizontal screw press. Fermentation lasted 7 days and was stopped by the adding vinic alcohol at 96º, resulting in a 17º wine.

In March 2008, the wine was separated from the lees and stored in old French oak casks in warehouse E where it aged until its bottling in February 2023.

924 500ml units and 36 double magnums were produced.

 This wine was naturally aged in cask and bottled in its purest state. To show it at its best, serve between 13/14ºC. This wine was filtered and does not require decanting, and it will drink well for several months, if not years, after opening – Madeira is almost indestructible!

Greenish gold. Aromatic and fresh nose. Notes of armagnac, apricot, orange blossom, white sultana and sea breeze. Round and delicate in the mouth, the fresh acidity balances the entire palate. Some white pepper flavor ending with a good dryness.
