MADEIRA MILES 5 Y.O. DOCE RICH 19%VOL 750ml

This is an exceptional fortified red wine from Madeira, Portugal, belonging to the sweet wine (Doce) category. It is known for its warm, full-bodied flavor, with intense sweetness and complexity, which result from traditional production and aging methods.

The “5 Y.O.” (Years Old) label indicates that the youngest wine in the blend is at least 5 years old. This aging process adds depth and complexity to the wine’s aromas and flavors, while the time spent in oak barrels imparts characteristic notes of nuts, spices, and caramel.

Organoleptic Characteristics:

The wine has a deep amber color with light caramel hues. On the nose, it reveals rich aromas of caramel, nuts, dried fruits, and spices, with hints of roasted sugar and chocolate. On the palate, it is full and velvety, with well-balanced acidity that counteracts the sweetness, and a long, rich finish.

Pairings:

This wine pairs perfectly with desserts that include chocolate, caramel, and dried fruits, as well as almond-based sweets. It can also be served with aged cheeses and nuts. Best served at 13-15°C.
