Description
A wine of exceptional quality made only from the Sercial 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
This dry style madeira, with around 50g of residual sugar, exhibits an appealing nose of sage, marmalade and golden raisins, with a lively palate of zesty citrus fruit and fine saline notes. The finish is crisp, clean and dry with gorgeous, fresh acidity.
