Broadbent Fine Rich Madeira 3 Year Old
The history of Madeira wine stretches back to the Age of Exploration, when Madeira was a frequent port of call for ships whose captains would fuel up on wine—fortified to prevent spoilage—for their trans-Atlantic journey. The blazing heat of the sea voyage transformed the flavour of the wines, a metamorphosis reproduced by a process called estufagem during which the wines are heated to as high as 60°C (140°F) and oxidated.
Attractive deep amber colour, aged in oak casks for at least 3 years. Rich, ripe aromas on the nose with hints of pecan pie, coffee and caramel. Very fruity, luscious, with hints of honey and spicy notes. Full bodied and rounded texture.
