Justinos 10 Yr Old Malvasia

Justino’s 10 Year Old Malvasia is a sweet, fortified wine from the island of Madeira, made using one of the island’s noblest grape varieties. Malvasia (also known as Malmsey) produces the richest and sweetest style of Madeira, and this expression is aged for a minimum of ten years in seasoned oak casks using the traditional canteiro method. The result is a layered, long-lived wine with a distinctive balance of sweetness and acidity, reflective of Madeira’s unique ageing process.

Aromas of toffee, raisins, caramelised nuts, and dried orange peel. The palate is rich and velvety, with flavours of fig, molasses, honey, and warm spice, lifted by bright acidity and a lingering finish.

Contains sulphites.

Madeira wines like this were once the drink of choice across Europe and the New World—famously used to toast the signing of the American Declaration of Independence. Malvasia was especially prized for its sweetness and ability to improve with long sea voyages and age.
