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 matured for several years in an oxidative environment, 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 some left - than when opening the bottle.
