Description
A wine of exceptional quality made only from the Boal grape variety, aged in cask under the traditional canteiro system for a minimum of 20 years and bottled only when it begins to display the degree of depth and complex charachteristic of full maturity. Vintage Madeira aka Garrafeira or Frasqueira are the epitome or excellence and the glory of Madeira.
Tasting Notes
Power, elegance and balance define this old beauty, with 87g of residual sugar. The nose expresses molasses, clove, walnut, nutmeg and smoky notes, leading to a palate of scintillating acidity, and multiple layers of marmalade, honey, apricot and nutmeg, onto a crazy long finish of golden raisin and fig.
