JAIME POLYCARPO D'ABREU
Jaime Polycarpo d'Abreu (embossed in capsule) was the current owner’s grandfather. He was a chemist that used this Malmsey to make "tonic" wine which he sold in his pharmacy. The grapes came from his own property in San Antonio. One day a cousin of his, working for Madeira Wine Company, said he should bottle this Malmsey as it was too good for "tonic" wine. We should thank him as this is a very good Malmsey!
Jayme Polycarpo d' Abreu, Malvasia 1950
Level: into neck; "J.P.A." stenciled bottle
"Nose of waxy tones, furniture wax, very concentrated, touch of volatile acidity. Fresh pure. Full sweet, very nice taste, dried fruits, wax and acacia honey on the finish. Sweet style of class." 17/20. EV, December 2014.
