Description

Depending on its age, wines may show signs left by time, such as dust traces on the bottles and/or some damage to the labels – a common issue for wines that have been stored for decades. Garrafeira Nacional is committed to storing all wines at the correct temperature and humidity, yet it always chooses to preserve the visual appearance inherent to their age. We generally select brands/regions that normally perform well in old wine tastings. However, wine is a living organism that, like others, is exposed to time, and even within 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 and let the bottle breathe beforehand, which helps release the wine’s natural aromas after so many years closed. Avoid decanting – it may be too aggressive for old wines. (illustrative image)
