Cossart Gordon Malmsey 10 Years Old Madeira Wine

Cossart Gordon 10-Year-Old Malmsey is made from pure Malmsey grapes. Fermentation is carried out off the skins with natural yeast at temperatures between 18-21 °C, in stainless steel tanks. After about 48 hours, the wine is fortified with grape brandy to arrest fermentation and preserve its characteristic sweetness. It then matures using the traditional Canteiro system: aged in American oak casks, initially in the warm lofts of Madeira’s wine lodges, gradually transferring to the cooler floors over time. Before bottling it is racked and fined

On the palate, Cossard Gordon almsey 10 Years Old Madeira presents a warm chestnut colour with golden highlights. Aromas are rich and complex, featuring dried fruits, toffee and spices. The flavour is sweet, concentrated and full in the mouth, with layers of mellow fruits, citrus-like orange notes and spice, finishing long and delicious. It has an alcohol content of 19%, high residual sugar (~115 g/L) and total acidity of 6.5 g/L (tartaric). It is excellent with desserts, rich chocolate puddings, fruit-based sweets or cheeses, and remains stable for several months after opening.
