The wine Poseidon, from the producer Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas, spent three months in the open sea, aboard a bacalhoeiro ship, and returned to give it a try. It is a 2014 DOC Douro red from old vines that has aged for 12 months in French oak barrels before being bottled and placed in the basement of “Coimbra”.
The association between the producer and the Merchant Navy Officers’ Club (COMM) has allowed us to recover the tradition, practiced in times with Madeira Wine. The bottle stage in the basement of the ship, in the constant balance of the sea, causes an early aging of the wine, giving it unique characteristics.
