The Malmsey comes mainly from São Jorge, on the north coast, where the vines are trained on trellises or pergolas. The volcanic soils, made up of basalt, trachyte and tuff, and the temperate oceanic climate, whose temperature and humidity vary with altitude, produce grapes with striking acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes from the 2007 harvest alone are picked by hand, with a quality selection in several passes according to their ripeness. After fermentation, the wine is fortified with grape spirit, which sets its level of sweetness. It then ages according to the traditional canteiro system, in 650-litre casks at ambient temperature, until the month it is bottled. This colheita was bottled in 2022, after more than a decade of slow evolution in the house's lodges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ejam\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eorange marmalade\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecandied fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ewalnut\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ehazelnut\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ewood\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emacerated dried fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebrandy\u003c\/strong\u003e.
