JUSTINO'S MADEIRA WINES ENG HD - Not easy to make wines like this.

Order: Reorder
Duration: 7:54
Updated: 26 Aug 2013

Justino's. Not easy to make wines like this. Madeira: Pearl of the Atlantic. Lodged Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses. A spot in the world favored by the good luck of mid-weather and natural richness. Where the mountain sprang from the sea, an enchanted land was born. Part of this charm has been transported, from ancient times, to people as far apart as Russian Czars or the founding fathers of the United States, under the form of wine which, for many, is a true spell potion. But it is not easy to grow vineyards in Madeira. The altitude compensates the sub-tropical climate which, along with the acid soils, gives the Madeira Wine a unique freshness when comparing with fortified wines from other parts of the world. But the quest for the best plantation spots which originate the best wines made for the fact than Man has adapted the soil, difficult and uneven, and created a beautiful vinic landscape in the shape of ledges, irrigated by the purest Atlantic rainwaters brought by the levadas (= irrigation channels). It is not easy to harvest in Madeira. There aren´t machines to reach those soils. The grapes are hand-picked. Grape by grape. With tenderness. With love. It is not easy to harvest in Madeira. Therefore at Justino´s we choose the exact moment at which to cut the grapes, making sure that they are at the perfect stage to undergo a metamorphosis; they stop being simple grapes to become that spell potion. It is not easy to select grapes in Madeira. At Justino´s we make a selection, evaluate the grapes´ sanitary state, check for their degree of alcohol and weigh them in. We select only the best, according to the type of wine we want to make. It is not easy to ferment wine in Madeira. We are strict about the temperatures in order for the delicate musts fermentation process, resulting from the grapes pressing, to occur in a harmonious way, allowing nature to do its job. In Madeira, the fortification is not an easy task. It is necessary to choose the right moment to stop fermentation in order to get the type of wine we want and the desired degree of sweetness: dry, medium dry, medium sweet and sweet. It is not easy to make wines in Madeira. At Justino´s experience and knowledge are not enough. We are constantly investing in our premises and equipment with the objective of enhancing the quality of production, complementing the traditional methods with the most recent technology available to this sector. It´s not easy to make wine in Madeira. One of the world´s most precious goods is necessary: time. But time doesn't do everything by itself. It needs our help and the precious oak wood of our casks and tuns in order to do its job of oxidative ageing, developing in our wines certain unique characteristics of complex and intense aromas. In Madeira, it´s not easy to export wines. But throughout our history, Justino´s has delivered wine in the most secluded countries, thus gradually conquering a relevant presence all over the world. In Madeira, it´s not easy to make wine. It is necessary knowledge, experience and a whole lot of dedication. Justino's, Madeira Wines, S.A. has been producing Madeira Wine since 1870, being one of the oldest producing and exporting companies with a recognized quality of their wines. In the rest of the world, making fortified wines is not easy. But to be able to have, such as the Madeira Wine does, a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity which translates into its matchless freshness is not all that easy. Justino's. Not easy to make wines like this.

Madeira. Great panoramic shots of the island of Madeira - sea, villages, banana trees. Men are seen harvesting bananas - cutting and carrying large, heavy bunches.

Scenic shot of Madeira's great vineyards. Madeira is famous for its wine - voiceover says. Succession of shots of wine making: harvesting, pressing, distilling, making barrels, bottling, packing, tasting and consuming wine at folk dancing fiesta - nice mixture of ancient and modern. Succession of shots of people in traditional dress dancing while tourists sip great Madeira wine while watching them.

It was not that long ago that most of the world's wines were sweet. But tastes have changed and the great sweet wines of the world are now the dinosaurs of the wine world. The old Madeiras that were kept in cask for over 100 years are slowly disappearing as the power of money is too great to keep these wines for this long. These old Madieras from the 19th and 18th centuries are like time in a bottle, magic and we have one of the largest stashes of these wines that you will find anywhere!

Top Matthew Ryan, Meet Me By The River

Just go to sleep
Talk is cheap
The price is steep
For the secrets we don't keep
Anchors away
I promised I'd stay
Against my every instinct
I'm in the black till the day sinks
I won't go down, down
To that dirty part of town, town
I just want to stay clean, clean
You don't know what I need, need
You don't want to know
Double six
Double six, double six
The jig is up the fight was fixed
I'm on my way, I'm in the sticks
I won't go down, down
To that dirty part of town, town
I just want to stay clean, clean
You don't know what I need, need
You don't want to know
Trust me
You can't trust me
You don't want to trust me
'Cause you can't trust me
No, no
Meet me by the river
I'm sorry Mary Jane
I thought that things could be different
What else can I say?
But I recall watching you
Walk down the aisle
And I recall the way the flower girls
Made your mother smile

Top Matthew Ryan, Dulce Et Decorum Est

I'm riding on a train, well you know
Cute girl in an English hat
Why'd it have to rain like that?
And in pulling off her scarf I let go
It floated like a wounded bird
Her mouth the shape of Spanish words
Well you know I think I can
Vanish with the evening rust
Join the ghost that haunted us
Well you know I think I am
Heroic in a failing way
For some of us it goes that way
And in another place while I slept
Nothing gave and nothing changed
Every day was more the same
Once upon that hill we came to
We stretched and leaned and threw some chairs
The moonlight in your dark black hair
Well you know I think I can
Vanish with the evening rust
Join the ghost that haunted us
Well you know I think I am
Heroic in a failing way
For some of us it goes that way
Dulce et decorum est, my dear
It's sweet it's right, there's nothing for you here here
When someone lets you down you free fall
To that bigger hand around your wrist
You'll swear you never wanted this
Well you know I think I can
Vanish with the evening rust
Join the ghost that haunted us
Well you know I think I am
Heroic in a failing way
For some of us it goes that way
Dulce et decorum est, my dear
It's sweet it's right, there's nothing for you here here
Now I'm pouring something cold down my throat
And I'm thinking about you and me
Once we had a drink or two or three
But those cold and autumn stars refused
We were swimming in that frozen lake

Top Matthew Ryan, I Only Want To Be The Man You Want

The world is still small
The world is still small
The world is still small
The world is still small
I only want to be the man you want
I only want to be the man you want
It's going to unfold
It's going to fall wide
Like the dark does the day
Like a dream does your eyes
Still I want to be the man you want
I only want to be the man you want
Don't say it, don't say it
Your thoughts are loud, your worry heard
The sun, the sea, the stars
The air between to where you are
You should land, my hummingbird
Swimming pool blue
The sky was swimming pool blue
You were on the steep side
I was swimming towards you
Saying, "Hey, I want to be the man you want"
I only want to be the man you want
The ring that you twist, the song you hum
I only want to be the man you want
Don't say it, don't say it
Your thoughts are loud, your worry heard
You'll wave goodbye beside
The things you think will get you by
When you should land, my hummingbird

Top Matthew Ryan, Closing In

I know your shape by heart, I hear your voice on the phone
Lately I'm just so lost and slow in this retirement home
Listen, we only do our best, we all make mistakes
Sometimes the weather can fall on you and sometimes it breaks
Step by step now, day by day, from where you been
The hits come on still, one by one, maybe we'll never win
But we're closing in, we're closing in, we're closing in
You put your hand in mine as the plane took off
You said, "You don't know how lucky you are", now I know I was
Maybe I'll go for a walk, maybe I'll go to hell
Maybe it's just that we're the only ones that save us from ourselves
Step by step now, day by day, from where you been
The hits come on still, one by one, maybe we'll never win
But we're closing in, we're closing in, we're closing in
Don't be afraid to fall through deep space
Don't be afraid to disappear without a trace
Step by step now, day by day, here we go again
The hits come on still, one by one, maybe we'll never win

Top Matthew Ryan, It Could've Been Worse

Where you come from
You learn to disappear
To cover up your fear
With punk rock and stuff
When you were a kid
You listened to The Clash
You learned to never ask
Where your daddy was
Once more around the old main drag
They never said it but they thought you were a fag
Some people push till a kid goes boom
Late at night it got dark in your room
Ah your love in a car
You promised her everything
Not knowing what everything
Really was
She's the first girl you kissed
She's the first girl you miss
When you're feeling like this
Broke and in the dark
Her blonde hair was a setting sun
Her mascara was born to run
You got scared when she started to show
One more thing you'd have to let go
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
So you stood on that bridge
Overlooking old crappy town
Snow was falling slowly all around
You smoked a quick cigarette
But I'll never believe
That you jumped and just ended there
The note you left read, "Look everywhere"
"You'll never bury me"
A stereo and a pile of cassettes
That dirty mirror where you used to get dressed
There you stood getting tight with your scars
Some broken chords on cheap guitar
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse
It could've been worse

Top Matthew Ryan, Killing The Ghost

There's a murder in the clover
One move and it was over
That monkey's one ego
On four, now here we go
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
Sleeping like a machine gun
Your bedroom was no fun
Falling down hard on my head was shooting black stars
Never knew who you were, now I know what you are
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
We're killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right
I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close, I'm cutting it close
I'm killing the ghost
I will carve you from my life
I couldn't care less, it feels all right

Top Matthew Ryan, Drunk And Disappointed

John's in the bathroom scared to death
Once he went under he couldn't catch his breath
On top of a trash can looking for an escape
He looked past the window up towards the milky way
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
Ain't nothing here to pull you through
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
The worst you'd fear is coming true, it's coming true
He parked his Lincoln underneath the trees
About a quarter to nine he walked inside the Applebee's
And nothing was moving not even the sky
Johnny wanted a lot of things but Johnny didn't want to die
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
Ain't nothing here to pull you through
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
The worst you'd fear is coming true, it's coming true, it's coming true
And on the programmed speakers above
Cher was singing, "Do you believe in life after love?"
So he slid from the window out onto the stars
And for a moment he floated above the trash cans and cars
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
Ain't nothing here to pull you through
How did you get so drunk and disappointed?
The worst you'd fear is coming true, it's coming true, it's coming true, it's coming true, it's coming true
All I want, all I want
All I want, all I want
All I want, all I want
All I want, all I want
