Justino’s range of Madeira wines
Justino’s range of Madeira wines is quite considerable. The company produces an excellent range of 10- years- old canteiro aged wines and has stocks of a number of aged Madeira wines as well which can be found in more specialist retailers.
Justino’s 10-year-old Madeira wine range, are excellent wines, from sweet and rich Malvasia to a smoky and sophisticated Bual, an elegant Verdelho and the very smooth and stylish Sercial. Wines of these styles represent about 15% of Madeira grape production at harvest. These wines are carefully aged using the Canteiro process. This oak aging produces the colour of the wine but really gives the wine its depth and complexity.
Frasqueiras from Justino of the 4 noble grapes, in from left to right the order of sweetness, Malvasia or Malmsey is the sweetest or richest of all Madeira wines, Bual or Boal offers sweetness and smokiness, Verdelho a perfect medium dry wine with softer fruity notes and Sercial the driest, refreshing without any notes of astringency, Sercial making the perfect aperitif.
These wines will be elegant and of great depth and complexity. Care should be taken when serving these wines, with time given to allow them to open and breathe.
