  • Description

    The *1906 Malvasia Madeira* is an extraordinary example of one of the island’s most opulent and age-worthy wine styles, now well over a century old. Crafted from the Malvasia (Malmsey) grape—renowned for producing the richest, sweetest style of Madeira—this wine has undergone a lifetime of slow cask maturation and careful cellaring, developing astonishing complexity, depth, and elegance. Bottles from this era are vanishingly rare, representing a true collector’s treasure and a unique opportunity to taste living history.

    In the glass, it would display a deep mahogany-brown hue with a green-gold meniscus, a hallmark of venerable Madeira. The bouquet is profoundly layered, offering aromas of dried fig, medjool date, and sultana alongside toffee, molasses, and roasted walnut. Subtle notes of espresso, bitter chocolate, tobacco leaf, and sea-salted caramel emerge with aeration, evoking both the richness of the grape and the maritime influence of the island.

    On the palate, the *1906 Malvasia* is lusciously sweet yet impeccably balanced by Madeira’s trademark acidity, ensuring freshness despite its age. Flavours of caramelised orange peel, treacle, and dried tropical fruits mingle with warming spice, dark cocoa, and hints of rancio—a nutty, savoury complexity unique to the oldest Madeiras. The finish is seemingly endless, with layers of sweetness, citrus brightness, and gentle salinity lingering long after the last sip.

    This is far more than an exceptional dessert wine—it is a liquid time capsule from 1906. The *Malvasia Madeira 1906* offers the chance to experience over 100 years of patience, craftsmanship, and natural ageing, making it a perfect centrepiece for the most special occasions or the crown jewel of a fine wine collection.
