The Rare Wine Co. Historic Series Thomas Jefferson Special Reserve Madeira

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Deep and complex, the NV Thomas Jefferson Special Reserve (Rare Wine Company) unwinds in the glass with notes of walnuts, espresso roast, dried fruits, beeswax furniture polish, candied peel and spices. Full-bodied, layered and sumptuously textural, it's built around racy acids and concludes with a long, elegantly bittersweet finish. This is a blend of 10% very old Favilla Vieira Malvasia with the balance dry Madeira.” - 94 PTS., WILLIAM KELLEY, WINE ADVOCATE (10/2020)

IMPORTER NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Thomas Jefferson was not only a central figure in America’s founding; he was also the country’s first renowned wine connoisseur. And, like the other Founding Fathers, Jefferson loved Madeira. His preferred blend was relatively dry but included a small amount of old Malvasia for complexity. This homage to Jefferson captures those characteristics for today’s Madeira lovers.”
