Description

Tasting Notes
Dark mohogany color with golden refletions. A characteristic aroma of madeira wine, having prenaunced notes of exotic woods, dried and crystallized fruits and spices. On the mouth it has full bodied, smooth, sweet releasing notes of dark chocolate, spices and tobacco, and has a long aftertaste with notes of fruitcake, molasses and spices.

The wine was aged for 41 years in old American oak casks at Quinta das Maravilhas in Funchal. “We bought the stock of wine after being presented with samples that far exceeded our expectations in terms of quality, freshness and complexity. Vintage Malmseys, when aged in the right location, have the ability to develop that natural richness into deep layers of aromas and flavours. The wine, after the years that it spent at the Zino’s family Quinta, benefited from the specific micro climate at that altitude. After we bought the wine, we held it at our winery in Caniçal before
finally being bodied in May 2018.” This is the only wine produced and aged at Quinta das Maravilhas as subsequent harvests were sold as grapes to the Madeira Wine Association until the vineyard ceased to be productive.
