| Ageing | Cossart Gordon 15 year old Bual was aged in American oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system. This comprises of the gentle heating of the wine in the lofts of the lodges in Funchal.

After this gradual ‘estufagem’ the wine underwent racking and fining before the blend was assembled and bottled. |
