Justino's Madeira
On Madeira’s vertiginous terraces, where basalt walls cradle vines above the Atlantic, Justino’s Madeira has shaped the island’s fortified identity since 1870. Rooted in a family firm and incorporated in 1953, the house stands among Madeira’s long-established exporters and guardians of old stocks.
Its signature is fortification followed by canteiro ageing: grape spirit is added during or just after fermentation, then the wines rest in oak casks under warm lofts, slowly heated by the sun rather than estufagem. Sercial, Verdelho, Bual and Malvasia gain their famed longevity through gentle oxidation and steady concentration.
Justino’s is known for holding substantial reserves in seasoned wood—each pipe a small archive of decades. For the seeker of true Madeira, it offers Atlantic freshness wrapped in warmth, tradition and time, built to evolve far beyond the moment it is opened.Justino's Madeira
