Joaquim Madeira white is a signature wine, with very particular characteristics, produced from Antão Vaz (30%), Chardonnay (30%) and Arinto (40%), manually harvested in a vineyard with red chalky soils. 

​

The Chardonnay and the Antão Vaz are jointly fermented in 225L French oak barrels, in a chamber with temperature control. Arinto is fermented in steel vats with temperature control.

​

The result is a very balanced, bodied, structured wine with rich tropical and citrus aromas. 

​

The original watercolour of the label was painted by Joaquim Madeira's wife, Graça. It evokes earth and firm soil, as a mirror of the character of the wine's author, and the body and structure of the wine itself.   

​

Tasting notes:

Colour: Citrus

Aroma: Blend of tropical fruits and citrus with evident presence of the oak where it fermented. Freshness and youth of the wine suggested by the acidity and the citric notes

Taste: Smooth with tropical notes and good acidity. The presence of the wood where it fermented integrate a blend of flavours that provide a remarkable harmony to the wine. Body, tropical and citrus fruits are characteristics of this wine, decisively influencing its balance. Persistent and extremely balanced finish.
