H.M. Borges +40 Anos Malvasia Doce

Commemorative of the 500th anniversary of Funchal City. Limited Edition.

Varieties: 100% Malvasia. Harvested on terraces on the north coast of Madeira.

Tasting Notes: Topaz color with orange reflections. On the palate it has an intoxicating, clean, elegant and complex flavor. Acidity and body well structured and in harmony with sweetness and tannins. Sweet wine, very full-bodied and rich in old hull aromas where roasted almonds and vanilla predominate. It is a unique, rewarding wine with a long lifespan.

Gastronomy: Attractive for any occasion. Special at the end of the meal as a digestive par excellence. Serve at temperatures not exceeding 18ºC. It doesn't have to be decanted. After opening, the wine will remain for several months in good condition.

Vinification: Open open spout, in casks, with alcoholization before the end of fermentation.

Ageing: In French and American 650 liters oak casks until bottling. This Madeira Wine commemorative of the 500 years of the city of Funchal was specially made for this purpose. It is a unique "blended" aged over 40 years, from the best and oldest Malvazia wines that age in our cellars in Funchal and that still constitute our stock today.

Longevity Expected: Madeira wines, due to their characteristics and fortification, are of great longevity.

Winemaker: Ivo Couto
