The wine region of Madeirense
DOC for the still wines of Madeira (1999, distinct from the fortified DOC Madeira), vineyards on terraced levadas across the Atlantic island. Tinta Negra (Grenache × Pinot Noir hybrid, 80% of the vineyard) as the signature solar red: ripe red fruits, cherry, plum and spicy touch, rounded tannins. Sercial (crisp), Verdelho (mineral), Bual (round) and Malvasia (opulent) as historic white signatures: citrus, dried fruits and a saline-iodine touch. Singular island authenticity.
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: Water stress
Lack of water. Water stress blocks the vegetative cycle of the vine, which uses all available resources to maintain the integrity of the plant, thus blocking the ripening process of the grapes.
