“The 1850 Verdelho remains an exquisite Madeira that is one of the finest ever produced in this, the founding year of the winery. It has a well-defined bouquet with seductive notes of fresh marmalade, quince, dried mango and melted candle wax. The palate is crisp and well-defined with superb acidity that is perfectly in tune with the spice-laden vestiges of decayed fruit. It is fresh and taut, performing impressively for its 162-years of age.“ – Neal Martin (Robert Parker 2012) A wine to enjoy on its own or with a fine Cuban cigar. May also be served with dried fruits and hard cheeses.
