2000 Justino Tinta Negra Colheita Single Cask
€ 76.00
Deep amber colour with golden reflections. It smells wonderfully like dried fruit with slightly sweet notes of honey and caramel. On the palate, Portuguese fortified wine is pleasant and not too sweet. It comes with notes of dried fruits, nuts and hazelnuts. Wonderfully long finish.
Food-pairing

Grapes: Tinta Negra
These wines have their own peculiar characteristics that were given to them by the respective casks where they were aged for a long time. Due to their distinct qualities, these wines are, after careful selection by the oenology team, bottled exclusively with wine from a single cask and which at the time of bottling had aged for at least 15 years in oak casks. They are generically identified by the date of harvest and the variety from which they originate. The exceptional quality of these wines derives mainly from the particularity of the cask (history, age and capacity), as well as its location in the cellar during the period in which the wine was aging. All of this contributes to the wines having different characteristics from the wines that initially made up the blend. Justino's Madeira reserves only the best barrels for its Single Casks.

Store & Serve
Always store a Madeira wine upright. The acids of Madeira are so strong that they attack the cork when the bottle is stored horizontally
Madeira is a wine that matured for several years in an oxidative environment, before bottling in a reductive environment. It is therefore useful to open the bottles a few hours in advance. The bottles can then be kept almost indefinitely, as the air no longer affects Madeira wines. In fact, after months – if there is anything left – the wine tastes better than when it opened the bottle
