Luiz Gomes is one of the historic names associated with Madeira wine. The Gomes family was deeply ingrained in the wine trade of Madeira since the 19th century. Although not as renowned internationally as some of the larger producers, the Gomes name is synonymous with quality and tradition. Their commitment to crafting exemplary Madeira wines has been passed down through generations, ensuring that their wines, especially their vintage selections, are sought after by connoisseurs and collectors.
Malmsey, also known as Malvasia, is one of the noble grape varieties of Madeira and is known for producing the richest and sweetest style of Madeira wines. The grape has ancient origins, with its roots possibly tracing back to the Mediterranean. In Madeira, Malmsey has been cultivated for centuries and is prized for its ability to produce lusciously sweet wines with intense flavors of caramel, toffee, and dried fruits, often underlined by a vibrant acidity. This ensures that even the sweetest Malmsey wines maintain a refreshing balance.
So, a wine from Madeira in 1879, such as the Luiz Gomes Superior Old Malmsey, would have been produced during a tumultuous period in Madeira's viticultural history. Such a bottle would carry with it not just the characteristics of its vintage, but also the resilience and adaptability of Madeira's winemakers during one of the wine world's most challenging epochs.
