Cossart Gordon Bual 15 Years Old Madeira Wine

Cossart Gordon Bual 15-Year-Old is a luxurious Madeira wine made from the Bual grape. It is fermented off the skins with natural yeast in stainless steel at 18-21 °C, then fortified after about 3 days to achieve its elegant sweetness. Aged in American oak casks under the traditional Canteiro method, the wine gently moves from the warm lofts down through cooler floors over the years. It is racked, fined, blended, and bottled when ready to drink. With 19% alcohol, residual sugar of ~90 g/L, total acidity 6.5 g/L (tartaric), and pH around 3.4, it balances richness with brightness

On the nose, Cossart Gordon Bual 15 Year Old displays a clear amber colour with golden-green highlights, and aromas of dried fruits like figs and almonds, warm wood tones, and a touch of vanilla. The palate is mellow and fruit-driven, supported by a solid backbone and finishing warm, long, and luxurious. This wine pairs beautifully with desserts — especially fruit-based cakes, rich chocolate puddings — and also with cheeses. Serve as is, no need to decant, and it will keep for several months once opened
