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.

Description
“I find the aroma of the Barbeito wines so much harder to describe because they are very much themselves, distinctive, not a prototype Madeira – even though they are also distinctively Madeira, if that makes any sense.”
– Julia Harding MW, on www.jancisrobinson.com, on the 2014 Annual Madeira tasting, where the top two scoring wines were both Barbeito.
