Tasting note

A complex Madeira with a spicy-citrus nose and hints of marmalade. The wine has a rich palate, with a refreshing acidity balancing this medium dry wine to perfection. Excellent served slightly chilled as an aperitif but is also exceedingly good with soups, oysters, feathered game and patês.

Region

Madeira

Madeira, an island located in the North Atlantic Ocean, is renowned for its unique and fortified wines, which are integral to its wine heritage. The island’s subtropical climate, combined with its rugged terrain and volcanic soils, creates an exceptional terroir for viticulture.
The area is particularly famous for its fortified wines, which undergo a distinctive aging process involving heat and oxidation, known as estufagem. This process imparts a characteristic complexity and longevity to the wines. Madeira wines are available in a range of styles, from dry to sweet, and are made from several grape varieties, including Sercial, Verdelho, Bual, and Malvasia. These wines are noted for their rich, nutty flavours, caramel notes, and remarkable aging potential.
Historically, Madeira’s winemaking tradition dates back to the 15th century, with its wines being highly prized and exported globally. Today, it continues to combine traditional winemaking methods with modern techniques, offering a unique and storied wine experience that reflects its rich heritage and distinctive climate.
