Adega Cooperativa De Palmela 40 Anos Tinto

Description

Based on its age, the wines may show the signs of time, such as dust residue on the bottles and/or some damage to the labels—common in wines that have been stored for decades. Garrafeira Nacional commits to storing all wines at the correct temperature and humidity, but always preserves the visual appearance that comes with their age. We typically select brands or regions that perform well in old‑wine competitions. However, wine is a living organism that, like all living things, is exposed to time, and even inside a bottle its aromas evolve in different ways. Therefore, Garrafeira Nacional cannot be held responsible for the wine’s quality, as it is an aged wine. Our recommendation is to open the bottle and let it breathe beforehand, which will help release the wine’s natural aromas after so many years closed. Avoid decanting, as it can be too aggressive for old wines. (illustrative image)
