Clear and radiant golden-brown color. On the nose, an exuberant, sharp, and volatile bouquet, with intense notes of spices, exotic woods, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Very rich and semi-dry on the palate with a very long finish of intense notes of clove, saffron, and curry.
 
Food-pairing 
Walnut bread with manchego cheese and Spanish ham such as jamon de Serrano. Roasted duck with dark chocolate gravy

Grapes: Terrantez 

Terrantez, this variety is dominant in Madeira, represents between 80 and 85% of wine production in Madeira. Grown in the south of the island between Funchal and Câmara de Lobos, and in the north at São Vicente. This Frasqueira, rich, is a one-year harvest. This wine was aged in barrels in the traditionally method called “Canteiro”. During the ageing process the wine is regularly evaluated in order to achieve the appropriate state of maturity to be bottled.

Store & Serve

Keep a Madeira wine always upright.

The acids of Madeira are so strong that they affect the cork when the bottle is kept lying down . Serve at 18 ° C 

 

Madeira is a wine that matured in an oxidative environment for several years, and then comes to bottling in a reductive environment. It is therefore useful to open the bottles a few hours in advance. The bottles can then be preserved almost unlimited, as the air is no longer affecting Madeira wines. It is even so that after a few months the wine tastes better than when the bottle is just opened.
