Because of its unique making process, when properly sealed in bottles Madeira is known to be one of the longest-lasting wines. Exposure to extreme temperature and oxygen accounts for Madeira’s stability. Even an opened bottle will survive unharmed for a considerable time, up to a year. Historically, Madeiras have been known to survive over 150 years in excellent condition. And Vintages dating back to 1780 are known to exist.
StorageShould be stored standing, in a dry place with constant temperature of 17ºC-20ºC, avoiding bright light.
