Leacock's is a historic name in the world of Port wine. Founded in 1760 by John Leacock, Leacock's is one of the oldest producers of Madeira wine, a fortified wine produced on the Portuguese island of Madeira. The company is known for its high-quality Madeira wines, including both dry and sweet varieties.

TASTING NOTES: Very mature and stewed red and black fruits of blackberry, cherry, and over ripe baked strawberry. Notes of fruit quickly overtaken by notes of butterscotch and slight turpentine. Palate matches the nose with additional notes of cured tobacco and candied fruits. Full bodied with great acidity and a long finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS: Madeira’s powerful acidity cuts through fat, making it a noble companion to fatty meats, creamy soups, custards, souffles and rich cheeses.
