Description
The distinctive style of Maderia, a fortified wine, evolved from the fact that during the the18th century east-bound ships would frequently transport barrels of Maderia wine for sale in the Far East or Australia and as the ships journeyed through the Tropics, the wine was heated and then cooled again during the six-month voyage.
This Verdelho shows typical slightly mushroom bouquet, tastes of ripe citrus fruits and hints of brazil nuts and caramel with a long dry finish.
