Barbeito Madeira Verdelho 10 years medium dry
€ 43.00
An aroma of wild herbs, almonds, raisins and tea. Very elegant 10 year old Verdelho Madeira wine with a fine acidity.
Food-pairing
The elegant fruit qualities of this semi-dry Madeira wine make it suitable for serving as an aperitif, with starters, olives and smoked ham. Also great to combine with duck liver or goose liver terrine. The combination with a clear oxtail soup is classic. Delicious with hard sheep cheeses such as manchego, mature gouda & parmesan. Smoked salmon and spaghetti.
Grapes: Verdelho 100%

Store & Serve
Always store Madeira wine upright.
The acids of Madeira are so strong that they will attack the cork if the bottle is stored lying down.
Serve: 11-12°C.
Does not require decanting. Can be stored for months after opening.
Madeira is a wine that matured for several years in an oxidative environment, and then enters a reductive environment during bottling. It is therefore useful to open the bottles a few hours in advance. The bottles can then be stored almost indefinitely, as the air no longer has any effect on Madeira wines. In fact, the wine tastes better after months - if there is any left - than when the bottle was just opened.
