The wine region of Madeira
Portuguese volcanic island in the heart of the Atlantic, kingdom of indestructible fortified wines. Mythical Madeira heated by estufagem with signature notes of dried fruits, walnut, caramel, coffee, candied orange and a long iodine note, vibrant preserved acidity. 4 noble grapes define the styles: Sercial (dry, taut), Verdelho (medium-dry, smoky), Bual (medium-sweet, honeyed), Malvasia (sweet, candied). Tinta Negra as the base.
The wine region of Terras Madeirenses
IGP for the still wines of Madeira (≠ DOC Madeira fortified), vineyards on terraces on the Atlantic island. Tinta Negra dominant in sunny reds and rosés with ripe red fruits, cherry and a spicy touch, round mouthfeel. Verdelho, Sercial, Bual and Malvasia (historic Madeira varieties) as taut white kings with citrus, dried fruits and a marked saline-maritime touch. Touriga Nacional and internationals (Cabernet, Syrah, Chardonnay) as complement.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
