Description

An elegant 1975 Verdelho Madeira from Cossart Gordon, the oldest Madeira house, founded in 1745. Made from the Verdelho grape, this mid-dry style offers a perfect balance of vibrant acidity and layered complexity, matured slowly in oak casks over decades. An exceptional bottle for 50th anniversaries, refined gifts, or collectors of rare fortified wines.

Tasting Notes
Amber in colour with golden hues. Aromas of hazelnut, orange zest, figs, and sea-spray minerality. The palate is bright and complex, with marmalade, roasted almond, and a touch of spice, finishing with lifted acidity and impressive length.

Cellarage & Serving
Store Upright. Cossart Gordon Vintage Verdelho 1972 should be served slightly chilled at 14–16°C. As the wine is completely stabilized, it is recommended to pull the cork at least 2 days before enjoying this wine. Decanting will help remove any deposit that may have occurred in bottle over time. Excellent with foie gras, savoury terrines, or roasted nuts. Also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses or fruit-based desserts.

About This Wine
An old rare medium dry single vintage Madeira aged for 47 years in 650cl casks at the Blandy’s lodge in Funchal. The Verdelho grapes were hand harvested in Seixal on the north coast of the island. Just 939 75cl bottles have been released!

About Cossart Gordon
Cossart Gordon & Co. was established in 1745 and is the oldest company in the Madeira Wine trade. The family joined the Madeira Wine Company in 1958 and to this day, Cossart Gordon Madeiras are considered the very finest available.

Reviews

Richard Mayson - 19.5/20.
“Mid-deep amber with a reddish glint and olive-green rim; very expressive, lifted but still tight-knit on the nose, classic dried fruit (figs raisins, Elvas plum), nuts, hickory and exotic, peppery spices, perhaps a bit funky but awe-inspiring complexity; savoury, a touch saline (‘salgadinho’) mouthfilling yet taut as
well, glorious texture, seemingly off-dry (88 g/l residual) sugar yet rich and intense with a wonderfully spicy, slightly saline finish. High in acidity (10.7g/l) but the wine is so well integrated it doesn’t really show. Idiosyncratic undoubtedly but a ‘wow’ of a wine.
