Description

A wine of exceptional quality made only from the Verdelho 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 early 20th century madeira, with 75g of residual sugar, boasts a heady nose of fig, orange zest, cinnamon, dates and brown sugar, and a medium-bodied palate of cashew, white pepper, maple syrup and candied fruit. The finish has tension and focus, with tangy acidity, complementing all the various flavours with harmony.
