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
Does not require decanting.
Will be good for months after opening.
Madeira is a wine that has matured in an oxidative environment for several years, before being bottled in a reductive environment. It is therefore useful to open the bottles a few hours in advance. The bottles can then be stored almost indefinitely, as the air no longer affects Madeira wines. In fact, the wine tastes better after months - if there is still left - than when opening the bottle.
