The Dr. Manuel José Malvasia Vieira Madeira 1890 is a rare and exquisite wine that has been aged for over a century in the traditional canteiro method. This wine was produced by Dr. Manuel José Vieira, a prominent physician and politician who owned several vineyards in Madeira. He was known for his meticulous care of his vines and his wines, which he bottled under his own name. The Malvasia grape variety, also known as Malmsey, is the richest and sweetest of the four classic Madeira styles. It produces wines with intense aromas and flavors of dried fruits, honey, caramel, and spices. The Dr. Manuel José Malvasia Vieira Madeira 1890 has a deep orange-yellow color and a complex nose of balsamic tones, old honey, and pure canteiro intensity. The palate is soft and sweet, with rich ripe apricots, honey, caramel, and some waxy notes. The finish is long and balanced, with some bitters and balsamic nuances behind the rich fruit. This is a wine of amazing natural concentration and strength, with a lingering acidity that balances the intense sweetness. It is a great wine that reflects the history and terroir of Madeira.
