Named after an old local newspaper, and proudly labelled as Mêda, this is a blend of Rabigato and Esgana Cão (Sercial), aged on the gross lees in barrel for nine months and bottled at two years of age. Deep, expressive nose, showing some creamy oak and notes of salted toffee and baked apples. The palate has an almost Madeira-like mahogany hint, lively acidity, notes of citrus cordial and plenty of spice all adding to a sense of intensity. Stimulating stuff, tangy, salty, nutty, mineral and lip-smacking with great texture. A wine that really gets you thinking. 0-7 years.
