A spicy rich Madeira with a mellow, ripe finish - sometimes described as liquid christmas pudding. Intense aromas of dried fruits, including figs and walnuts. It is full of rich spices and caramel notes.
Delicious on its own or also ideal with desserts such as ice cream or fruit salads.
This 5 Year Old Madeira starts life as fermenting must and is then fortified before
undergoing its own very special maturation process. Made of predominantly
Tinta Negra Mole Grapes, harvest begins from mid-August due to the warm
southerly climate. A unique and highly sophisticated artificial Estufa process
is set up for the 5 year old wines, where temperatures rise to 45ºC before being
allowed to cool. This process takes 90 days and renders the wine completely
stable. It is then aged in oak casks for 5 years, prior to bottling.
