Madeira, Portugal

Easily the most important producer of Madeira in Portugal, Justino’s is known for using modern techniques to preserve the integrity of old traditions. With an absolutely intoxicating bouquet of satsuma zest, white flowers, walnut honey, third-wave Ethiopian coffee & bitter green herbs, this luscious, golden elixir has a slight patina and reveals notes of sweet vanilla and baking spice with some time in open air. With a light sweetness tempered by balanced acid, this sweet, fortified wine is like something you’d be given when travelling alone & while the name of this delicious apertif might escape you, the sensation will certainly not.
