D´Oliveiras Terrantez Meio Seco Fortificado

Description

This Terrantez from Pico, which earned a remarkable 97 points from Tim Atkin, is a frankly exhilarating burst of flavour, born from the volcanic slopes of Madeira. Picture a bouquet erupting from the fermenters – intense honey, dried apricot, bright marmelo (apricot) notes, and a subtle hint of marmalade. On the palate, a refreshing acidity provides perfect balance, alongside viscous, honeyed fruit and resinous nuances, culminating in a long, harmonious finish that’s undeniably satisfying. Delicious with aged cheeses or a generous sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, I’d say.
