BLEND

"The Ribeiro Real vineyards from Estreito de Câmara de Lobos spread over the south side of Madeira. Great Madeira wines originated in this locality, such as Favila Tinta Negra. We continue to preserve the traditional methods of making and aging Madeira wine. We have selected our best Malvasia, to which we added very old wines of Tinta Negra originating in Ribeiro Real vineyards; this wine is another homage to the history of Madeira wine." 1416 bottles were filled in February 2015, all individually numbered.

TASTING NOTES

Clean, amber colour.

Elegant and fresh bouquet with notes of exotic wood, light balsamic, toffee, prunes, cloves, tobacco leaf, brown sugar and dark chocolate. Creamy texture with wonderful complexity, oily sweet flavors and a remarkable dryness that balances the excellent freshness at the end.
