| Ripening | The MC 1234 is a project created by the madeira collection to lower the entrylevel on madeira wines by giving the wines less oxidation. We try to do that to blend young wines +/- 10 y old of different grape varietals with lots of fruit and good freshness. <br /> <br />The project goal is to bring a different style from what excist in the general offer of Madeirawines. <br /> |
Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Number two of the series is the dry one: Tinta Negra with Sercial for a dry finish and that light sherry touch, and Verdelho for the fresh fruit. Sercial is the most acid-driven of the Madeira grapes, and in a dry blend that is exactly what you want — because without acidity an oxidised wine turns heavy. This is therefore not a dessert wine but an aperitif wine, and one that can handle a plate of salt and umami.
