Description
A rich and deep wine from Madeira
The estate
The Rare Wine Co. has built its reputation on curating exceptional, historically significant wines. With a focus on Madeira, the estate is dedicated to reviving traditional winemaking styles that have all but disappeared over the centuries. By sourcing rare, high-quality lots and aging them with precision, The Rare Wine Co. brings the complexity and character of classic wines to today’s wine enthusiasts.
The vineyard
The New York Malmsey Special Reserve is crafted in the style of Madeira wines that were once beloved in the American colonies, particularly in New York. Malmsey, a rich and full-bodied grape variety, thrives in Madeira’s volcanic soils and maritime climate, contributing to the wine’s dense, honeyed flavors. This wine evokes the legacy of early American wine culture, with a balance of sweetness and acidity that makes it both approachable and complex.
The case
The Rare Wine Co. selects only the finest lots for the New York Malmsey Special Reserve, focusing on quality and authenticity. Aged in traditional oak casks to develop its depth and complexity, this wine reflects the dedication to craftsmanship that has been the hallmark of The Rare Wine Co. for years. Limited in production, the New York Malmsey Special Reserve is a celebration of history, quality, and meticulous winemaking.
The blend
Crafted primarily from Malmsey grapes, the New York Malmsey Special Reserve showcases the rich, opulent character of the variety. The wine is aged for an extended period, allowing the natural flavors of the grape to fully integrate with the nuances imparted by the oak casks, creating a wine that is both luxurious and well-balanced.
The tasting
The New York Malmsey Special Reserve opens with aromas of rich caramel, dried figs, and dark honey, accompanied by a touch of toasted nuts and spice. On the palate, the wine reveals layers of lush, ripe fruit, particularly prune and raisin, with a velvety mouthfeel and a lingering, honeyed finish. Its balanced acidity perfectly counters the sweetness, making it an elegant and age-worthy wine. With its richness and complexity, this Malmsey is a perfect choice to pair with desserts or enjoy on its own as a sumptuous after-dinner wine.
