Barbeito: Madeira Verdelho 50 Years Old

Weingut über: Madeira Verdelho 50 Years Old

-- Weingut: To celebrate our company’s 75 years of existence, we selected our best old wines from the Verdelho variety to make this small 50 Years old blend. A challenge that Ricardo Diogo posed to himself for the character that the wine he idealized should have. With this wine he wants to pay tribute to all the people who worked in our company in the past and who always gave their best. A thank you also, to those who are here today and contribute daily with their work and knowledge. Of this very special wine, 525 units of 750ml were bottled, all numbered and individually signed. This is the first Verdelho 50YO blend ever made in Madeira, and was a big challenge I have placed myself making it, in just 525 numbered bottles. It’s a great wine, I can assure you (one of the ingredients is the Verdelho 1885 from my grandfather collection). Amber Colour. Fine and exquisite. Bouquet with woody notes, balsamic / ̈vinagrinho ̈, clove, raisin, black figs, ripe orange peel and layered caramel. The sensation in the mouth is explosive! Citrus flavours highlighting the solid and precise acidity. Pungent finish with an almost endless freshness. Excellent as a digestif, pairs well with strong cheese.
