Store & Serve
Always keep a bottle of Madeira wine upright.
The acids of Madeira are so strong that they affect the cork when the bottle is kept lying down
Serve at 18 ° C.
Madeira is a wine that matured in an oxidative environment for several years, and then comes to bottling in a reductive environment. It is therefore useful to open the bottles a few hours in advance. The bottles can then be preserved almost unlimited, as the air does no longer affect the Madeira wines. It is even so that after a few months the wine tastes better than when the bottle is just opened
