Ten years of Malmsey: sweet, but never heavy.
Tasting note
A smooth wine with aromas and flavours of dried fruit (raisin, fig), orange peel and a little cream caramel.
The story
Malmsey is the English name of the Malvasia grape and also of the sweetest style of Madeira. Yet the acidity keeps everything in balance, so the wine is never sticky or heavy. The grape grows on the south coast near Câmara de Lobos and Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, and in São Jorge and Santana on the north coast.
Food pairing
With coffee, or as a dessert wine with dried fruit, chocolate mousse or dark chocolate, pralines and cream puffs.
