Description
A wine of exceptional quality made only from the Malvasia 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
With 126g of residual sugar, this Madeira delivers rich scents of brown sugar, espresso, melted candle wax, quince, walnut and marmalade. The palate is well-balanced with flavours of ristretto, almonds, dried and candied fruit, lifted by a touch of salinity, with very crisp acidity that cuts through this Madeira with ease. The finish is long, smooth and clean.
