Colombo Verdelho 2019 White Wine

5/ 5

<p>With an alcohol content of 19% ABV, a residual sugar of 70 g/L, and total acidity of 6.00 g/L (tartaric acid), Cossart Gordon Verdelho 5 Years Old Madeira presents a clear topaz colour with golden hues. On the nose it offers the classic Madeira profile—intense and complex, with dried fruit, wood and spice notes. On the palate it is medium-dry, fresh and assertive, featuring orange peel alongside raisin-like fruit, giving a well-balanced and lingering taste. Served as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with soups, game birds, and pâtés, and remains enjoyable for several months once opened.</p>

<p>On the nose, Cossart Gordon Rainwater Madeira offers a warm topaz colour with golden reflections, exuding classic aromas of dried fruit, orange peel, and gentle oak. The palate is fresh and balanced, underpinned by a firm citrus backbone that gives lift and structure. Sweetness (about 55 g/L residual sugar) is well matched by total acidity (6.00 g/L as tartaric acid, pH ≈ 3.4), culminating in a lingering, long finish. This Rainwater style Madeira requires no decanting and remains stable for several months once opened, making it both delightful on release and rewarding for those who savour Madeira’s character over time.<br /><br /></p>

<p></p><p>Dark amber. Fine and fresh bouquet with notes of cedar, some resin, iodine, compote, green tea leaf on a background with touch to the sea. It presents with good structure, well-cut edges and a constant minerality. Acidity almost spicy in a dry, long, fresh and persistent finish.</p>

<p>In the glass, the Cossart Gordon Bual Vintage 1987 presents a topaz colour with gold highlights. The aroma is rich and complex with characteristic notes of toffee, wood, and vanilla, complemented by spices and dried fruits. On the palate it is smooth and concentrated, yet finely balanced, leading into a long, spicy aftertaste. With a texture that is both elegant and indulgent, it is a wine designed for savoring slowly — ideally with mature cheese or rich desserts</p>

<p></p><p>The story of Henriques &amp; Henriques, founded by João Gonçalves Henriques, dates back to 1850. After his death in 1912, a partnership was established between his two sons, Francisco Eduardo and Joaquim Henriques, which gave rise to the name Henriques &amp; Henriques .<br />From the earliest times, Henriques &amp; Henriques occupied a prominent place in viticulture and the art of making wine. In 1913 the family interests were constituted in a company of the family that, in 1925, began its activity like exporter of its wines to the detriment of the local supply to other exporters</p>
