The wine was aged in American oak barrels for a total of 25 years and started its ageing program in our Sotão de Amendoa (the Almond Attic, on the 4th floor) in our lodges in the centre of town, where it remained until 1991. It was then placed on the 2nd floor for 2 years before spending the remaining 20 years on the 1st floor of the lodges.
This wine should be stored upright in a dark room with constant temperature, ideally no higher than 16ºC. As the wine is completely stabilized, it is recommended to pull the cork at least 2 day before enjoying this wine. Decanting will help remove any deposit that may have occurred in bottle over time. A wine that should be enjoyed in the good company of friends, served not higher than 17ºC. It has been bottled ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.
