<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></p><p>Quinta da Pacheca is one of the best known estates in the Douro region and also one of the first properties to bottle wine under its own label. It is first mentioned in a document dated April 1738 but it was only in 1903, when Dom José Freire de Serpa Pimentel decided to develop his interest in oenology, began to seriously dedicate himself to the risky business of winemaking. Today, a century and many successes later, a brand-new generation of the Serpa Pimentel family</p> <p></p> <p> </p>
