Justino's Madeira Wines was established in 1870 and is one of the oldest wineries in Madeira, and one still independent of the dominant conglomerate Madeira Wine Company. Producing a wide range of wines from the noble varieties and Terrantez as well as the the lesser known grapes as Tinta Negra, Complexa and Triunfa (see previous blog on colheita madeiras sporting the above picture), its wines are stored in a huge underground warehouse of 5000 sq m and distributed widely throughout the world. In 1993 it formed an alliance with a French wine and spirit distribution group and then embarked on a programme of modernization of its winery and production lines. My limited experience of its wines are fully documented in this blog, tasting this and other wines at the Wine Fair in 2011 as well as having bought a 1933 Malmsey and waiting for a suitable occasion to drink it!
