Store & Serve

Always keep a Madeira wine upright.

The acids of Madeira are so strong that they attack the cork if the bottle is stored lying down

Serving: 18 ° C

 

Madeira is a wine that has ripened for several years in an oxidative environment, and then enters a reductive environment when bottling. It is therefore useful to open the bottles a few hours in advance. The bottles can then be kept almost unlimited, since the air has no influence on Madeira wines. In fact, the wine tastes better after months - if it remains - than when the bottle is opened.
