Description

From one of the few Madeira producers working primarily with their own vineyards, this is a “full rich” – meaning nicely sweet and dense – Madeira with perfect levels of balancing vivid acidity. It’s 100% Tenta Negre, the most common Madeira grape but farmed with uncommon care and attention. After the must is fortified to stop fermentation and retain sugars, it spends 90 days at high temperature in tank (estufa) to mimic the effects once obtained by the wine traveling in barrel across the equator during long sea voyages. Then into large oak casks for aging at least 5 years (although much of this wine is older than that).

It’s hard to imagine a better introduction to Madeira than this. The richness and nuttiness make it easy to approach and enjoy. But there’s still plenty of the intense, almost painful, acidic bite and salty minerality that makes Madeira so delightfully drinkable before, during and after a meal. And it keeps forever after opening (literally – you can take years to finish a bottle and just leave it on the counter between pours).
