Delivery in 5-7 Business days - In stock
Malmsey is the English name of the more famous grape name, Malvasia, and at the same time the name of the sweetest style of Madeira wine. Although this is the sweetest category in Madeira, it should be noted that the accompanying acid keeps the whole in balance and thus prevents the wine from becoming sticky or heavy. The result is a smooth wine with an aroma and flavor of dried fruit (resin, fig), orange peel and a little cream caramel
Food-pairing
Served as an aperitif at a temperature of 10 °C; serve as dessert wine at 16 ºC with dried fruit, chocolate mousse or dark chocolate, pralines & cream puffs
