WINEMAKING The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks until a neutral grape spirit brandy is added to stop the fermentation. Following fermentation, the wines undergo the ‘canteiro’ process used for fine Madeiras. They are placed in a lodge in American oak casks and heated solely by the sun’s warmth for 14 years. This heating process oxidizes the wine, giving it a very long life and its characteristic nutty, rich flavors.
