Miles Vintage 1996 Rich, is a single harvest Madeira. This wine was aged in 650 lts seasoned American oak in the traditional “Canteiro” system, whereby the casks were gradually transferred from the top floors of the lodge, where it is naturally warmer, to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. The wine was regularly racked and when it reached the desired stage of maturity it was bottled.
