Aged for more than five years in used chestnut barrels,SaveiroCastanea undergoes a unique elevage unlike any otherMadeiraproduced on the island, harkening back hundreds of years to a time when use of chestnut was widespread in the maturation and transport of wine. Warm, concentrated and pleasingly rustic, ‘Castanea’ bears notes of dark tamarind, torched citrus oil, roasted hazelnut, cured tobacco leaf, wood varnish and sea smoke, all framed by H&H’s signature balanced acidity and the gentle tannins lent by its time in chestnut barrels. A love letter to Madeira history, it can be enjoyed on its own, with roasted nuts and cheeses, and with a wide variety of desserts including crme brle and clafoutis. It should be served at cellar temperature, lightly chilled.
