Brilliant amber in colour. Elegant and complex aromas with hints of vanilla and raisins. On the palate, the texture is rich and soft. Well balanced, with long and pleasant caramel notes to finish.
Producer
Despite being one of the oldest producers in Madeira, with a history dating back to 1870, Justino’s is widely viewed as one of the island's most dynamic producers. They source fruit from all over the Madeira, selecting grapes from only the best sites and vineyards. Traditionally, varieties like Sercial were grown in the cooler north of the island, while Malvasia and Boal were planted in the warmer south. Today, site selection and improvements in viticulture allow for more flexibility, meaning these varieties can thrive across Madeira, no longer confined to a specific area.
Justino’s modern winery, located in Cancela, Santa Cruz, was built in 1995. All their Madeira’s are fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless-steel tanks to ensure pristine base wines. Fermentation is halted by adding 96% ABV neutral grape spirit at the optimum moment, which differs depending on the desired level of sweetness for each Madeira.
