The 1954 VJH Verdelho is a significant Madeira from Justino`s Madeira Wines, with roots tracing back to 1870. This medium-dry wine is characterised by high acidity, a hallmark that enables long-term aging. The 1954 vintage is noted for its concentration and complexity, presenting aromas of roasted nuts, dried citrus peel and an underlying rancio character. Its flavour profile typically reveals nuances of caramel and hints of woodsmoke, reflecting the unique influences of its time in barrel. This bottling serves as a historical representation of Madeira`s vinicultural heritage.
