D'Oliveiras Malvazia 2009 Madeira Wine

5/ 5

<p></p><p>The founders of D’Oliveiras were visionaries that saw the true value of Madeira Wine: its ability to improve over time. Therefore they started storing as much Madeira Wine as possible, letting it slowly mature inside the barrels for future generations to be able to enjoy it further. For that reason, D’Oliveiras is the only Madeira Wine company that owns Madeira Wine bottles and Barrels from as far as the 1850’s that can still be commercially purchased.</p>

<p>Justino's Verdelho Colheita 2008 Madeira Wine is a unique and exquisite wine, made exclusively from the grape harvest of the year 2008. Following the traditional method of aging known as 'canteiro,' the wine is aged in oak barrels, under the natural heat in the cellars of the producer. This traditional method of aging contributes to the wine's complex oxidative characteristics and its distinct flavor profile. <br /><br />The aging process under these specific conditions lends a balanced moderate sweetness to Justino's Verdelho Colheita 2008 Madeira Wine, along with a linear acidity. The maturation over the years has imprinted the wine with pronounced notes of dried fruits, spices, and slight tropical hints. These flavor notes are characteristic of the varietal, and they become more profound and intricate as the wine matures over the years. The result is a wine that is a perfect blend of tradition, complexity, and unique flavor notes.</p>

<p>In the glass, Cossart Gordon Terrantez Vintage 1975 displays a clear, brilliant copper-brown colour with golden tinges and subtle green reflections. On the nose the wine is deeply complex: spices like black pepper, exotic woods, smoked nutshell and resin, along with macerated dried fruits in rum. The palate starts soft and sweet but then “explodes” into a long, fresh aftertaste full of spicy notes. The finish is vivid and almost salivating, inviting another taste – a masterful balance of intensity, sweetness, and acidity.</p> <p></p>
