Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"COLOUR: Mahogany gold with a greenish nuance.
AROMA: Very intense and characteristic. Predominant notes of toasted exotic woods, elements of smoked dried fruits, complex and very rich notes of old malt whiskey, iodized notes with reminiscent of musk.

95 Points - Vinous
"The 1987 Terrantez comes from the vestige of plantings on the island in Cãmara de Lobos; this release has 95g/L residual sugar and 10.32g/L total acidity. The nose is beautiful, harmonious and nuanced: Seville orange marmalade, fig jam, smoke and light waxy aromas. This attests to a supremely gifted grape variety. The palate is well-balanced, with a honeyed texture and a keen thread of acidity. It's effervescent in the mouth. Peppercorns and orange rind appear towards a finish that fans out gloriously and lingers. Beautiful. 1,248 bottles released (plus other formats)." -NM, Aug/2024
94 Points, "Editors' Choice" - Wine Enthusiast
"Made from the rarest of varieties, found in only a few parcels in Madeira because it is so low yielding, this is a medium-sweet wine. It is an impressive survivor, a wood-aged wine that is so dense and concentrated. Beautifully rounded, cut with spirit, the wine is ready to drink." -RV, 11/1/24
