Mistura means ‘blend’ or ‘mix’ in Portuguese and best describes our Verdelho based “Madeira” style fortified wine. We typically make Mistura by using a solera process. In a nutshell a solera system uses a small % from each barrel that is mixed together to go into the final finished blend. The barrels are then topped up with the current vintage, but a proportion of older vintages always remain. In Italy, this process is called “In Perpetuum”, a great name as it refers to the process going on in perpetuity! The beauty of a solera system is that it produces a wine of a constant age each year, and it keeps the blend at a consistent quality.
This Mistura blend has an average age of between 5-7 years. It is a medium dry style, with smoky spicy characters of caramel, coffee, cacao and raisins. It makes a great aperitif or delicious when served with blue cheese, dried fruit, rich dark chocolate desserts and sweet pastries wiht nuts, honey or berries.
