Country: Portugal /
Variety: Terrantez Madeira
Winery: Blandy’s /
Here is a remarkable rarity. The Terrantez grape is the rarest of all the Madeira grapes and also produces the most long-lived wines with examples from the 18th century still drinkable. This much younger wine, with its old-gold color, is the epitome of that tension in some Madeira between sweetness and intense acidity. Lime marmalade and huge concentration mark out this very fine wine.
