This aged sweet wine is our interpretation and heir to the famous 17th-century Canari wines, which were exported to England. After oxidative aging for up to 65 years , we blend the finest vintages , resulting in a unique wine. Production is limited to 823 bottles .
Made with the Malvasía Volcánica grape variety, this sweet white wine is the result of combining three batches from the 1956, 1970, and 1997 vintages. The bunches are spread out on mats for several days in a traditional, almost obsolete process called "asoleo," which increases the sugar concentration through partial dehydration of the grapes.
After sunbathing, the grapes were pressed, yielding only a 30% yield . Alcoholic fermentation began with selected yeasts and was halted by the addition of wine alcohol , once a residual sugar of approximately 70 g/L was reached. Each vintage subsequently underwent a long oxidative aging process in 500-liter oak barrels , lending complexity and depth to this exceptional wine.

Elaboration:
This sweet vintage wine is our interpretation and heir to the famous Canari of the 17th century that were exported to England. To make it, we assembled three batches from the 1956, 1970 and 1997 vintages. These were made by sunning the Malvasía Volcánica clusters (clusters were placed on mats for several days) to increase their sugar proportion by partially dehydrating the grapes. After sun exposure, the grapes were pressed, obtaining 30% of their yield. Alcoholic fermentation began with its own selected yeasts. The fermentation of these wines was stopped by the addition of wine alcohol, when their residual sugars reached about 70 g/L. Afterwards, the different vintages were kept in a long oxidative aging in 500-liter oak barrels.
