WINE MAKING PROCESS
Miles Madeira Rich 5 Years Old is produced using traditional Madeira winemaking techniques. The Tinta Negra grapes are processed, and the wine is fortified. A key step in its production is the 'estufagem' process, a controlled heating method that imparts characteristic nutty and caramelized notes and contributes to the wine's longevity. Following this, the wine undergoes a minimum of 5 years of aging, developing its complex profile before bottling.
