Barbeito 5 Year Old Malvasia Reserva NV
Madeira, PortugalThis Malvasia comes from vineyards in Arco de São Jorge, and was slowly aged in French oak casks for more than 5 years, via the historic Canteiro method. Pouring a bright golden brown, with candied orange, roasted almonds, golden raisins, sweet pipe tobacco and light smoke which lingers on the lengthy toasted wood finish. Lovely fresh acidity to counter the richness on the palate, keeping this feeling bright and ready for creme caramel or candied chestnuts.Tasted: 12 January 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $22.00 | 500ml | consignment |
