Product details
Winemaking:
This Frasqueira is the result of blending two wines, both from the same vineyards, but with completely different aging and development stages. In the 1993 harvest, part of the Verdelho must was brought from Seixal to our winery in Funchal. Here, we controlled the fermentation, fortifying it to 1.8° Baumé. The remaining portion remained in the MEF winery, where it was fortified after complete fermentation. This portion remained in the MEF warehouse by the sea until it was used in 2025 in a 60/40 blend with Verdelho from our warehouses. By adding more MEF wine, we sought to enhance the salinity and acidity of this Frasqueira. In February 2025, 500 750ml units were bottled.
