<p></p><p>The founders of D’Oliveiras were visionaries that saw the true value of Madeira Wine: its ability to improve over time. Therefore they started storing as much Madeira Wine as possible, letting it slowly mature inside the barrels for future generations to be able to enjoy it further. For that reason, D’Oliveiras is the only Madeira Wine company that owns Madeira Wine bottles and Barrels from as far as the 1850’s that can still be commercially purchased.</p>

<p>Justino's Single Harvest 2000 Madeira Wine presents an amber to cashew hue, clear and bright, typical of prolonged aging in wood. Its aromatic profile is complex and rich, marked by intense notes of dried fruits such as nuts and almonds, nuances of spices, roasted caramel, and slight hints of exotic wood and smoke. On the palate, it stands out for the balance between its natural sweetness and a vibrant, refreshing acidity, a structural feature of the wines from this region. It has a smooth texture and a long, persistent, and dry finish.<br /><br />Unlike still wines, Madeira wines of this style have high stability due to their manufacturing and maturation process. Once opened, the bottle maintains its organoleptic properties for several months, as long as it is stored in a cool place and away from direct light. It should be served slightly chilled, ideally between 13°C and 15°C. Madeira wine is known for its unique and distinctive character, and Justino's Single Harvest 2000 exemplifies these qualities, offering a nuanced and memorable tasting experience. This wine is not only a delight to drink, but it also serves as a testament to the rich winemaking tradition of the Madeira region.</p>

<p>Tinta Negra grape variety is part of the ancient spirit of Madeira Island and is still the basis for the wines that have made the island famous. Outside Madeira Island, it is a rare grape variety that can only be found in regions where the sea is close by, taking on another name such as Molar in Colares, where it is practically extinct, Saborinho in the Azores, which is in the process of recovery, and the Canaries, where it takes on the name of TintaBastardo where it has very little expression.Not to be confused with Bastardo (aka Trosseau), its half-sister.</p>
