A medium-dry, 5-year-old Madeira from our favourite winemaker in the world. This is soft, yet full-flavoured, with dried fruit and orange notes. An excellent aperitif, but also wonderful with a cheeseboard, mushroom dishes, or a game terrine.
Barbeito are one of the smallest Madeira Wine producers, only founded in 1946 but have an extraordinary reputation. Ricardo de Freitas, the founder’s grandson took over in the ‘90’s, reinventing the traditional wines and techniques. He was the first to bottle Madeira wine without adding caramel and has also bottled from a single cask, which was once a traditional way.
We think this Madeira is both impressive and stunning.
The blend is 80% Tinta Negra and 20% Verdelho.
Tinta Negra and Verdelho aged in French oak casks during 5 years by Canteiro method. For this blend, Barbeito selected wines from their warehouses with stable temperatures year round that originate a very well balanced wine in sugar and acidity.
This wine was filtered and does not require decanting. It was bottled ready for drinking and will keep well several months after opening.
This is non-vintage.
