Virtually unknown, exceptionally rare bottle size.. Direct from the personal cellar of
descendants of the Araujo family, still living in Madeira. Their ancestors arrived at
the end of the fifteenth century. Later the firm of Araujo, Henriques & Co.,
merged with H.M.Borges in 1932. The family still own vineyards at Quinta do
Jardim da Serra, at Estreito de Camara de Lobos, producing what are regarded as
the finest Sercial grapes on the island. Superb condition, velvety and very long.
