Cossart Gordon Verdelho 1975
Region: Madeira
Producer: Madeira Wine Company SA
VerdelhoThe grape used to make medium dry wines comes mainly from the south, but also from Sao Vicente in the north. General planting is about 46 hectares across the island. The grape is very aromatic and frivolous and has great potential for acidity.
The Madeira Wine Company includes well-known brands such as Blandy's, Leacock's, Cossart Gordon, Miles and others.
Because of this grouping of names, the company owns an impressive stock of aged wines. They invariably have a soft and round character with great accessibility for the general public, but also with a nice depth and harmony in the wine.
