Ageing |
Cossart Gordon Good Company was transferred to 'estufa' tanks where the wine underwent a cyclic heating and cooling process between 45°C and 50°C over a period of 3 months. After 'estufagem' the wine was aged for 3 years in American oak casks and then underwent racking and fining before the blend was assembled and bottled. |
Consumption |
Cossart Gordon Good Company is fined and does not require decanting. It is a superb accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially fruit, cakes, chocolate puddings and soft cheeses. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening. |
Colour |
Deep, warm amber colour with soft golden tinges. |
Aroma |
Characteristic powerful bouquet of Madeira, with dried fruits and notes of toffee. |
Flavour |
Soft and rich, very full-bodied with lovely warm fruit flavours giving way to a lingering finish of wood and subtle chocolate notes. |
