Région Madère - vin moelleux - bouteille de 50cl - DOC Madeira

Grapes used were from one small vineyard in São Vicente, North coast of the island.
Grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press. Arresting of fermentation takes place at the desired degree of sweetness by adding vinic alcohol. (96%)
This wine was aged in casks of French oak in the traditional “Canteiro” system.

MATURATION & BOTTLING
This Boal is made from grapes from a small vineyard trained on a pergola so close to the soil that people almost have to lie down in order to pick them.
I was always drawn to this small vineyard because of this particular characteristic. But then I realized that it also produced beautiful grapes with acidity out of the ordinary, which is why I always harvested and kept this Boal separately, classifying it as a single vineyard as well. The exceptional way this colheita presented itself, with an outstanding concentration paired with a fantastic acidity balancing the wine perfectly was what led me to share it with all of you. From this wine we bottled 744, 500ml units all individually numbered.
