2000 Malvazia, Madeira, Pereira d'Oliveira,Portugal

Description

There is no need for nosing here, such is the concentration of amalgamated richness: oodles of dried figs and prunes mingle with chocolate-orange aromas. Diving into the palate, you are met with an unctuous medley of caramelised walnuts and toffee apple. All this wonderful sweetness is met with vigour and precision, amazing balance and persistence, courtesy of a finely honed acidity. This is cracking value for the complexity on offer – another reason to love Madeira. This is as delicious on its own as it would be with chocolate pudding. Drink now for as long as you wish – it will be superb.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 17/20
Pale greenish mahogany colour. Rich rancio nose with a layer of melted butter. Sweet and fresh, balanced by just the right amount of acidity. Complete and already a great pleasure to drink. Very smooth and both satisfying and refreshing. This would make a great post-prandial drink. jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (September 2020)

About this wine

Malvasia (Malmsey)

Malvasia is a catch-all for a family of ancient Mediterranean grapes known as Malvasia, Malvoisie or Malmsey; their origins lie in Asia Minor and their relevance in decline. Malvasia is responsible for producing a range of wines styles and colours; red and white, dry, sweet and sparkling. Perhaps better known for its ameliorative effect on Tuscan Vin Santo, providing honeyed smoky fruit intensity, while in Portugal& Madeira it reveals itself as Boal (Malvasia Fina) & Malmsey (Malvasia Candida) in the production of fortified wines. Massimo Romeo is  a source of top-class Vin Santo di Montepulciano, while Barbeito is famed for its Malmsey Madeira.
