Description

According to its age, the wines may show signs left by time, such as dust on the bottles and/or some damage to the labels—common in vintages that have spent decades in storage. Garrafeira Nacional stores all wines at the proper temperature and humidity, yet it always preserves the visual character inherent to their age. We typically choose brands and regions that normally perform well in old‑wine competitions. Wine, like any living organism, 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 bottle. We recommend opening the bottle and letting it breathe first, which will help release its natural aromas after so many years sealed. Avoid decanting, as it can be too aggressive for old wines.
