This JBF Verdelho 1900 Madeira is a true collector’s item, capturing the heritage of Madeira winemaking in a single bottle. Crafted from the Verdelho grape, renowned for its medium-dry profile, this rare vintage offers a refined balance of freshness and a touch of sweetness that has matured beautifully over a century. Bottled from demi-johns in 2015 by Francisco Albuquerque, each bottle is a testament to meticulous aging and care, hailing from vineyards near Funchal that no longer exist—a piece of Madeira history in every sip.
Tasting Profile:
- Appearance: Deep orange hue, showcasing the oxidized color typical of well-aged Verdelho.
- Aroma: Opens with fresh citrus and mandarin, transitioning into complex notes of old wood and a touch of Napoleon Cognac. Over time, the nose evolves to reveal hints of rich fudge and delicate floral aromas, making each sip an exploration of layered fragrances.
- Palate: Medium sweet, with a finely balanced acidity. The palate offers an intense start with flavors of dried oranges and integrated acidity, embodying a refined softness akin to a well-aged Petite Champagne Cognac. Each sip is complex yet harmonious, leaving a lasting, intense finish.
Consumption Notes: Best enjoyed slowly after decanting, this wine’s character develops in the glass, revealing more of its layered complexity over time. Perfect for special occasions or moments of quiet contemplation, it’s a wine to savor and appreciate.
Pairing Suggestions:
- Pair with aged cheeses or savory charcuterie boards.
- Complements nut-based desserts and dark chocolate.
- Enjoyed as a standalone experience, allowing the wine’s full depth to unfold.
