WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barbeito Single Harvest Medium Dry 2010 is produced using grapes sourced from various Madeira vineyards. Harvest timing was deliberately varied to achieve desired acidity levels in the must. Fermentation is followed by aging in old French oak casks through the traditional Canteiro method, a process that involves slow, oxidative maturation without artificial heat. The wine is then bottled, with each bottle individually numbered, indicating a limited production run.
