| 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 |
Waar serveer je ’m bij?
The sweetest of the four: a blend of reserve wines based on Malvasia, the grape that provides the full, sweet style on Madeira. Malvasia here gives honey, dried apricot and a syrupy texture, with the island's line of acidity underneath holding it upright. This is the bottle you put with a chocolate or caramel dessert, and of which one glass is enough.
