Madeira Malvasia 10 Yrs Old

Produced on the island of Madeira, Portugal, a renowned region for fortified wines with a unique aging process influenced by the Atlantic climate.

This Madeira is made from the Malvasia grape variety, also known as Malmsey, which is the sweetest style of Madeira wine.

The wine undergoes a traditional Madeira aging process involving oxidative aging and estufagem, where it is heated and exposed to controlled oxygen to develop complex flavors over a minimum of 10 years.

• Grape Harvest: Handpicked from selected vineyards on Madeira Island.
• Fermentation: Controlled fermentation to retain natural sweetness.
• Fortification: Addition of grape spirit to halt fermentation and preserve sugar.
• Aging: Minimum 10 years aging in oak casks with exposure to heat and oxygen.
