2001 D Oliveira Boal Madeira

This special Harvest of Madeira wine was selected from a year of very fine vintage of a single grape variety, the production of which was assured by control of the quality of the grapes, ideal ripening conditions, and a process of vinification which combines modern technology with D'Oliveira's art of wine-making learned over a century of experience. This is a traditional Madeira, matured in old oak casks at the correct temperature until the year of bottling.

D'Oliveira recommends that the bottle should be stored in a vertical position, protected from extremes of cold and heat and served at room temperature. It is important to let the wine breathe for a while after it has been opened, in order to develop the fullness of its aromas. If this wine remains many years in the bottle, it may present a natural sediment that is a sign of life and belongs to the intrinsic qualities of this great Madeira. The winery advises that this wine should be poured very carefully leaving any deposit in the bottle, or it may be decanted.
