Break-resistant packaging
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 aged wine is our interpretation and heir to the famous 17th-century Canari wines exported to England. To produce it, we blended three batches from the 1956, 1970, and 1997 vintages. These were made by sun-drying the Malvasía Volcánica bunches (the bunches were placed on mats for several days) to increase their sugar content through partial dehydration of the grapes. After sun-drying, the grapes were pressed, obtaining 30% of their yield. Alcoholic fermentation began with our own selected yeasts. Fermentation of these wines was halted by the addition of wine alcohol when their residual sugars reached around 70 g/L. The different vintages were then subjected to long oxidative aging in 500-liter oak barrels.
