Leacock's Tinta Negra Doce Rich Madeira 2017

Leacock's Tinta Negra Doce Rich Madeira is a fortified wine crafted from the versatile Tinta Negra grape, predominantly grown on the volcanic island of Madeira. This rich style is achieved by interrupting fermentation with the addition of neutral grape spirit, preserving natural sugars. The wine undergoes the canteiro method, maturing in oak casks where it develops complexity through gradual oxidation and temperature variations. The result is a balanced wine with sweet, nutty flavors complemented by a vibrant acidity, ideal for those exploring the diverse expressions of Madeira wines.
