Description and Reviews:
The Verdelho grapes for this 1994 medium-dry Madeira from D'Oliveiras were carefully handpicked and aged by the canteiro method creating a medium sweet fortified wine with fragrant aromas of brown sugar, liquorice, soft burnt caramel, marzipan, smoky tar, and Creme Brulee. On the palate, its crisp acidity marries worderfully with brown spices, raisins, lavender, and caramel leading into a lovely finish with steely crunchy acidity and a timeless tangerine echo! A distinct style, full of contrasts and complexities.
Serving & Food Pairing: Once opened, Madeira wine can last for many months if stored in the correct conditions. Serve your Verdelho Madeira chilled at 12-13ºC and pair with sesame breadsticks, blue cheeses and pickles, with fresh fruit such as apples and bananas or with Espada, Madeira's delicate white fish often served lightly battered and accompanied by lightly battered banana fried in butter and a fresh salad.
