A sweet, round Malmsey: walnut, caramel and a hint of citrus.
Tasting note
A delicious sweet Madeira, dark in colour, with aromas of nuts, molasses, vanilla and spice. Round, smooth and balanced, with roasted walnuts, caramel and a touch of citrus peel. Intense, with a long, balanced and complex finish. Try it with some cheese, and keep a second bottle handy.
The story
The grapes are fully destemmed, crushed and pressed. They ferment at controlled temperature, and after 8 to 10 days fermentation is stopped with 96° wine spirit.
Food pairing
Lovely with pancakes, cake, tart and panna cotta. Excellent with tropical fruit, dark chocolate, pralines, petits fours, honey cake (bolo de mel) and butter biscuits.
