In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Deep amber announces itself with molasses and raisin aromatics that feel almost edible. Medium-bodied yet muscular enough to stand alongside serious food, with spice and nut flavours that linger on the length without ever tipping into cloying sweetness. Acidity keeps everything bright and alive, even after the cork is drawn—a wine that feels textured rather than simple.

The Winery — Justino's

One of Madeira's oldest producers, operating since 1870, Justino's now brings together traditional Canteiro oak ageing with modern winemaking discipline. The winery sources Boal (also known as Malvasia Fina) from the island's best-regarded terraces across premium sites, where basaltic volcanic soils and Atlantic exposure coax higher sugar levels. Fermentation is arrested with spirit to lock in the richness you taste in this 10-year expression—a grape that ages gracefully, holding its depth over decades.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

At 19% ABV with 93g/L residual sugar, this Sweet Wine pairs beautifully with blue cheese, cold meats, or nut-based and spiced desserts. Equally at home sipped quietly after dinner or shared on a leisurely Sunday lunch, it rewards both patience and curiosity. The robustness of Madeira allows for endless experimentation with food pairings and drinking occasions—open a bottle and let it guide your next gathering.
