Winemaking process:
Verdelho is pressed and fermented in stainless steel, and grape spirit stops fermentation once the wine reaches a medium-dry balance. It then ages in oak casks by the canteiro method, stored in the warm upper floors of the lodge for an average of ten years. Verdelho was once Madeira's most widely planted grape before the phylloxera crisis of the 1870s.
Interesting notes:
Canteiro maturation slowly develops the wine’s flavour through warmth and oxygen during barrel aging.
