A three-year-old dry Madeira: fresh, fruity and an ideal aperitif.
Tasting note
A dry Madeira with an attractive, fresh nose, a dry, fruity palate and a delicious finish with hints of citrus.
The story
Madeira spends years ageing in an oxidative environment and moves into a reductive one at bottling. It is therefore best to open the bottle a few hours in advance. After that, air no longer affects the wine: an open bottle keeps almost indefinitely and often tastes even better months later. Always store Madeira upright, as the acidity attacks the cork if the bottle lies down.
Food pairing
Lightly chilled as an aperitif with olives and almonds, or with mayonnaise-based bites, game and fish mousse. Also very good with creamy starters, fish dishes and Indian food, smoked salmon, sushi, caviar, tuna, light soups, salads, ham and dried fruit such as almonds and walnuts.
