Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, sweet
This is a Madeira DOP from J. Faria & Filhos of Funchal, made from Tinta Negra, the island's most widely planted grape, and bottled in the Meio Doce, or medium-sweet, style. Madeira gets its unique character from being fortified and deliberately aged with warmth, which gives it a tangy, gently oxidative profile and remarkable durability. Expect caramel and toffee, raisin and dried fig, orange peel and toasted walnut, with a medium-sweet palate kept lively by Madeira's trademark bright acidity. Serve it lightly cool after dinner with nuts and dried fruit, aged cheeses, fruit cake or bolo de mel, or with chicken liver pâté. It is ready to drink when bottled, and an open bottle keeps for months: few wines are as robust.
