Anderson Wine Cellars (AWC) Madeira NV

AWC Madeira is crafted from the Verdelho grape, grown in the volcanic soils of Madeira, a Portuguese island in the mid-Atlantic. The grapes are harvested early to preserve acidity. Fermentation is halted by adding a neutral spirit, maintaining a balance of sweetness and acidity. The wine matures in oak casks, developing oxidative characteristics and complex flavors. This medium-sweet Madeira showcases the traditional canteiro method, with a nuanced profile ideal for those exploring fortified wines. The seasonal temperature variations contribute to its layered caramel and dried fruit notes, offering a classic expression of the region.
