Malvasia (Malmsey)
Malvasia is a catch-all for a family of ancient Mediterranean grapes
known as Malvasia, Malvoisie or Malmsey; their origins lie
in Asia Minor and their relevance in decline.
Malvasia is responsible for producing a range of wines styles and colours; red and white, dry, sweet and sparkling. Perhaps better known for its ameliorative effect on Tuscan Vin Santo, providing honeyed smoky fruit intensity, while in Portugal& Madeira it reveals itself as Boal (Malvasia Fina) & Malmsey (Malvasia Candida) in the production of fortified wines.
Massimo Romeo is a source of top-class Vin Santo di Montepulciano, while Barbeito is famed for its Malmsey Madeira.

Smoky, dense, minerally rich and persistent, there is a real concentration to this Douro wine. The grapes come from old vines local to the region and often used for making into white port; 60% Viosinho and the rest mainly Gouveio, Rabigato, Malvasia, Códega do Larinho to name a few. The ...

Ricardo De Freitas decided, after the long and hot summer (in Madeira in any event) of 2007, that this cask of Malvasia, cask 44A no less, had a sufficiently idiosyncratic profile and taste to merit a bottling on its own, thereby immediately conferring relative rarity and a certain fascination. ...

"Again, an alternative spelling for Malvasia/Malmsey. Traditionally making the sweetest of Madeiras, yet again this could not be described as fully sweet, retaining plenty of cut. This wine had only been bottled a few weeks before my visit. It had a lovely light golden colour, and a very smooth, ... MORE | ||||

"Light to medium tawny. It has a warming nose of fig, quince and smooth, luscious toffee and walnut character. There's an intriguing glimpse of tropical, mango fruit. Intense concentration on the palate, with fine, deep, tangy flavours suggesting raisins and nuts, and plenty of juicy, vibrant ... MORE | ||||

"The sweetest and richest wine from the Barbeito stable, a very special and rare blend from the best Malvasias from all over the island, their minimum rather than average age being 30 years. Ricardo only makes such a blend every ten years or so, only when he feels the quality merits this lofty ... MORE | ||||
