The Single Cask series represents the most exacting expression of that philosophy, with individual barrels personally selected for their exceptional character rather than blended for consistency. These wines are produced in partnership with Justino's, one of the island's largest and most respected houses, which carries out the winemaking on Broadbent's behalf using stocks the family has sourced over decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis bottling comes from a single cask of Malvasia, harvested in 2009 and aged for years in a 650-liter old oak barrel using the traditional oxidative Canteiro process, in which the wine develops its color and concentration through the ambient warmth of the aging lodge rather than mechanical heating. Only 950 bottles were produced from this individual cask, each one reflecting the particular character that single-barrel aging can bring out in Madeira's sweetest classic variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe wine is intensely sweet, calling to mind ripe Medjool dates, with a vibrant streak of acidity that keeps the richness in check rather than letting it turn heavy.
