Barbeito Rainwater 5 Year Old Reserva Madeira
£18.95
Shipped by Sail from Madeira!
Barbeito are one of the smallest Madeira Wine producers, only founded in 1946 but have an extraordinary reputation. Ricardo, 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.
Recreating the classic style of Rainwater, medium dry in character. Dried fruit, orange blossom and crystallized fruit aromas with a soft yet full bodied palate and a long minerally finish. An excellent aperitif, but also wonderful with French Onion Soup, Welsh Rarebit, cheeseboard, mushroom dishes, and game terrine.
Barbeito Malvasia 5 Year Old Reserva Madeira
£18.95
Barbeito are one of the smallest Madeira Wine producers, only founded in 1946 but has an extraordinary reputation. Ricardo, 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.
Aromas of toasted almonds, honey and hints of smoke. Lightly caramelized fruits bring a freshness on the palate. A sweet wine, but with great balancing acidity. This really complements desserts with caramel, dried fruits and toffee.
Barbeito 10 Year Old Sercial Madeira
£49.00
Winner of the IWC Madeira Trophy in 2003, this iconic Sercial is a touch of bone dry, to balance the natural rapier-like thrust of structure and flavour.
Aromas of dried fruits pine and resin. Mineral and fresh palate, long finish. Excellent as an aperitif, with Oysters, French Onion Soup, Parmesan cheese, sautéed mushrooms.
Barbeito Boal Single Cask
£53.00
The wine has been aged using the canteiro method and produced from the single barrel. It has a lovely, fresh floral aroma, with notes of pine, apricot, ripe citrus, white raisins, caramel, and candied fruit. The sweetness is balanced by a spicy, fresh acidity, with a lingering finish.
The grapes for this wine come from a very special, single-vineyard called Vinha da Torre, located in Campanario, the parish thought to have produced Boal grapes for the longest.
Barbeito Quatro Pipas Bastardo Special Reserva
£80.00
The next iteration in Ricardo’s quest to honour and resurrect the almost forgotten Bastardo variety. This wine is a blend of three separate base wines, from different vintages: 2007, 2009, and 2011. Each was made using varying winemaking methods, such as skin contact and volume of barrels for ageing. The age of the wines and the complexity of the resultant blend enabled this to be designated as a Reserva Especial wine.
A fresh bouquet with a hint of tobacco, wood (pine), dried figs, dates and walnuts. This wine reveals much of its character on the palate, where sweetness, acidity and a light spiciness blend in harmony, leading to a polished, long and silky finish.
