Bodegas Menade, Adorado de Menade, MAGNUM, 150cl

🍷 Bodegas Menade ‘Adorado de Menade’
Spain | La Mancha | Fortified Wine
Grapes: 100% Verdejo
Style: Oxidative, Nutty & Savoury

🌟 A rare fortified Verdejo that marries rancio elegance with La Mancha’s sun-baked character—complex, refined, and endlessly intriguing.

🎨 In the Glass:
Deep amber-gold with mahogany glints and a slow, viscous sheen.

🍞 On the Nose:
Pronounced oxidative ‘rancio’ aromas—roasted hazelnuts, toasted walnuts, and teakwood—underpinned by luscious notes of dried apricot, fig leather, and a wisp of honeyed citrus.

💫 On the Palate:
Structured yet silky, unveiling layers of savory umami, saline minerality, and dried fruit compote. A firm backbone of tangy orange peel and gentle spice weaves through to a long, clean finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with mature Manchego, pâté on toast, almond-crusted foie gras, or as a contemplative sipper alongside Marcona almonds.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Built for the long haul—cellar for 5–10 years (or enjoy now for full rancio intensity).

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Adorado de Menade is a captivating departure from ordinary dessert wines—richly nutty, intriguingly salty, and perfectly balanced. A fortified treat that rewards both curiosity and patience.
