SMITH WOODHOUSE MADALENA VINTAGE PORT 75CL 20%

The Smith Woodhouse Madalena 2013 is a Single Quinta Vintage Port known for being slightly lighter, fragrant, and more approachable than a traditional declared vintage. Its smooth tannins and dark berry fruit flavors seamlessly coat the creamy texture of the cheese without overpowering it.

Excellent dark ruby colour, packed with black berry fruit aromas and floral hints such as mint. On the palate, full-bodied, classic black cherry flavours and balanced by fine and elegant tannins. With a long and lingering finish. What to enjoy alongside your Smith Woodhouse Madalina Port .... Dark chocolate is a great match, so enjoy with our Chocolate Truffles, flourless chocolate cake, or chocolate mousse. The mint and cacao notes in the port love cocoa flavors. Fresh blackberries, raspberries, and Strawberries are lovely, as is a Mixed berry tart.

Cheesewise, with this Smith Woodhouse Madalena, look no further than the classics! Blue Cheeses .... Our Colston Basset Blue Stilton, as its creamy texture and sharp, salty bite will cut right through the port's rich sweetness. Another Blue Cheese to consider is Devon Blue. The intense saltiness and sharp tang of Devon Blue cut right through the rich, candied sweetness of the Port. Roquefort: A punchy, tangy French sheep's milk blue cheese that matches the deep, complex fruit and cocoa layers of the wine. Gorgonzola Dolce: A softer, creamier blue choice if you prefer a milder, buttery contrast to the dark-fruit and spice profile, or our Montagnolo, a soft, Triple Cream Blue Cheese from Allagau region in Germany that wone Supreme Champion award at The World Cheese Awards.

Our Aged Vintage Cheddar from Cheddar Gorge is another to savour, as this cheeses sharp, well-matured flavours and crumbly texture pair well with the port.
