Ten years of Verdelho: wild herbs, almond and tea, and a string of medals.
Tasting note
Aromas of wild herbs, almonds, raisins and tea. A very elegant ten-year-old Verdelho with fine acidity.
The story
Elsewhere in Portugal, Verdelho is also known as Gouveio. The grape gives a lightly sweet, medium-dry style, is mainly planted in the north at 400-600 m and ripens late. It is the main ingredient of Rainwater.
Food pairing
The elegant fruit of this medium-dry Madeira makes it a fine aperitif and a match for starters, olives and smoked ham. Also lovely with duck or goose liver terrine, and a classic with a clear oxtail soup. Delicious with hard sheep’s cheeses such as Manchego, aged Gouda and Parmesan, and with smoked salmon.
