Leacock’s – Colheita Tinta Negra Madeira 1995

This long-overlooked grape is finally taking a well-deserved bow.

The Workhorse Takes the Spotlight

For years, Tinta Negra was the quiet workhorse of Madeira. This bottle rewrites the story. Leacock’s 1995 Colheita (single-vintage) Madeira is a declaration that this grape belongs in the spotlight. Aged over two decades via the traditional Canteiro method—slowly heated in attic casks—this wine has evolved into something quietly magnificent.

It pours a deep amber, with a swirling tapestry of toasted walnuts, dried figs, and warm caramel on the nose. The palate dances between richness and razor-sharp acidity. There’s a nutty, toffee-like depth, but it never tips into excess, finishing nearly endless, savory, and impossibly elegant.

How to Enjoy

A contemplative glass of history. Perfect as a digestif or paired with strong cheeses, roasted nuts, or a simple fruit tart.
