Madeira goes through an ageing and heating process. This wine spent five years in cask, and was heated using the Canteiro method in which the barrels are stacked on beams (the "canteiro") under the rafters in warm roof spaces.
Aromas of raisins, butterscotch and vanilla. Mouth-filling concentrated flavours of maple syrup, figs, caramel and sugared walnuts. Sweet but with a streak of acid verve. Beautifully balanced with an endless finish and lovely complexity. A “meio doce” or medium rich style of Madeira. It can be served with desserts but also works well with more savoury dishes and cheeses. Serve it cool rather than chilled, As with all Madeiras it will keep for months once opened.....but I've never seen that happen.
