Tasting Notes
-
Goedhuis, October 2019
The sweetest style in our selection. Brilliant dark amber colour. This has wonderful dark aromas of caramelised orange, hints of spice and dried figs. In the palate there is a delicious richness, full, juicy and sweet, with flavours of demerara sugar. With great depth, this is a beautiful example of the hedonistically rewarding and sweeter style of the Bual wines.
Region
Madeira
The tiny Atlantic island belonging to Portugal is home to the most beguiling fortified wines. Lauded for their searing acidity, these wines are some of the longest live in the world. The island’s strategic position explains its long history with shipping, particularly as a pit stop en route to India during the 17th Century. The rugged island is an unlikely home for viticulture, and nearly all the vineyards are tiny, step-like terraces clinging to the sheer hillsides that tumble down to the Atlantic waters below. Production methods vary, but are centred on the ‘estufa’ system, where heat and oxygen exposure during long ageing and cross-vintage blending contribute the wine’s characteristic ‘maderised’ character.
