O Produtor, tasting note published in September 15th 2022
Madeira Meio Seco (medium-dry) wine, 5 years old, whatever the degree of sweetness, all Madeira wines have at least 20 grams of residual sugar, the sweetest reaching 60 g/L. Its sweetness is balanced by good acidity, and the finish is prolonged when the wines are older.
Given the complexity of its aromas and organoleptic characteristics, it can be drunk at any time of day or night.
According to the story, Madeira wine had as its main mentor Prince Henry the Navigator, who encouraged the growing of the Malvasia Candida grape, from Candia de Crete, on the island of Madeira, which proved to be a success. By the mid-15th century, Madeira wine was already being exported and its export routes included Europe, where it was considered a more refined wine and was even used as a perfume for the court ladies’ handkerchiefs. The prestige of this nectar was such that it is often mentioned in history, in the arts and in the legends of some nations.
