Justino’s Madeira Wines – Tradition & Variety since 1870

Flavours & Taste

Nose: Dried fruit, vanilla, orange zest, nuts and floral Elements.
Palate: Mineral, nutty, with a sweet-salty finish and a subtle oxidative note.

Tips for enjoying

Young vintages as an aperitif, or served with cheese or desserts. Mature wines, such as 10-year-olds and Colheitas, should be enjoyed on their own or with chocolate or cheese. Vintage and 50-year-old wines should only be enjoyed on their own.

Production & Maturing Process

Young Madeira wines (e.g. Reserve) undergo the Estufa process, or traditional heating, whilst high-quality Colheitas and Vintage wines mature in the naturally heated Canteiro. Solar energy is also used to stabilise the process.
