The Madeira Wine Company, S.A. was originally an association of a number of Madeira wine producing companies, who decided to join forces in order to strengthen their purchasing and wine making abilities. This Association was founded in 1913. During the inter-war years the old family firms of Blandy’s and Leacock joined, followed immediately post war by Miles and Cossart Gordon, thereby creating the largest producer and exporter of Madeira wine. Whatever the size, the maintaining of the unique characteristics and style of each individual firm was at the chore of the association. By the late 1970’s the interests in the Madeira Wine Company as it became known, were reduced to just a handful of the original families with the Blandy family holding the controlling share. In 1989 the Blandy family, needing to strengthen the sales and marketing side of the business, invited the Symington Port shipping family from Oporto, Portugal to join them in partnership. This partnership has continued to the present day, enabling the Madeira Wine Company to play a leading role in the development of the Madeira wine trade.
The name Atlantis was inspired in a legendary lost Island subcontinent in the Atlantic Ocean, often idealized as an advanced society holding wisdom that could bring world peace.
Atlantis represents the freshness of the Atlantic and the beauty of the Island where this nectar is produced.
WINE MAKING NOTES
The grapes were carefully selected, destemmed, and cooled to 14ºC. The must is macerated with skins for 24h in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 18ºC. Following the separation of the skins, the fermentation gets underway at a controlled temperature of 18ºC.
TASTING NOTES
With a pale pink color leaves on the nose notes of fruit like strawberries and pomegranates. On the palate, it´s very fresh and stimulating leaving an intense fruity aftertaste. Great wine to pair with Mediterranean gastronomy, sushi, cooked seafood, and fish.
