Established in 1814, Miles is renowned for crafting expressive, beautifully balanced wines that honour the island's unique winemaking heritage. Aged for five years in traditional oak barrels, this medium-rich expression offers a wonderful balance of sweet dried fruit depth, subtle oak spice, and energetic coastal acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine stands out for its rich, velvety mouthfeel and captivating aromatic complexity. Combining the decadent, honeyed sweetness of a richer style with the uplifting freshness characteristic of Madeira, it delivers a smooth, luxurious drinking experience. Bottled ready to enjoy without the need for decanting, it also possesses remarkable stability, remaining fresh for months after opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard \u0026amp; Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested from small, terraced plots cultivated on Madeira's dramatic volcanic slopes. Following destemming and pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats before being stopped with neutral grape spirit at the optimal point of natural sweetness. The wine then undergoes five years of patient aging in oak casks using traditional maturation methods, allowing its rich flavours to concentrate and harmonize prior to fine filtering and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a deep amber-topaz colour with warm mahogany glints. The nose reveals a rich, inviting bouquet of dried figs, dates, raisins, and dark marmalade, layered with warm notes of toasted oak, caramel, and subtle cocoa. On the palate, it is medium-rich, velvety, and mouth-filling, offering a luscious wave of sweet dried fruit and toffee balanced effortlessly by a fine thread of lively acidity. It finishes long, warm, and satisfyingly complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its rich sweetness and vibrant structure, this medium-rich Madeira makes a fantastic partner for a wide array of desserts and savoury treats. It pairs magnificently with sticky toffee pudding, fruit cake, pecan pie, dark chocolate tarts, and crème brûlée. It is equally delicious served alongside rich blue cheeses such as Stilton or Gorgonzola, as well as roasted nuts and dried fruit platters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Varieties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Tinta Negra\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drink Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54866662916439,"sku":"123081","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/6824\/7127\/files\/Miles_5_Year_Old_Medium_Rich_Madeira_75cl.jpg?v=1788443779","url":"https:\/\/www.drinkfinder.co.uk\/products\/miles-5-year-old-medium-rich-madeira-75cl","provider":"Drink Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
