Description

Vinhos Barbeito is one of the most forward-thinking companies on Madeira, as well as being one of the youngest, being founded in the 1940s by Mário Barbeito. Barbeito is attempting to redefine the popular notion of Madeira to a generally slightly drier, more food-oriented wine. As well as careful selection, long ageing and the absence of caramel, the wines are not de-acidified, so they retain much more freshness and tang than many Madeiras. At this level, Barbeito is leading the way in making complex, fine Madeiras as naturally as possible.

Boasting a lovely golden colour with aromas of toffee and nuts, this is smooth and luscious on the palate with chocolate nuances. Long and very pure.

About this WINE
Malvasia (Malmsey)

Malvasia (Malmsey)

Malvasia is a catch-all for a family of ancient Mediterranean grapes known as Malvasia, Malvoisie or Malmsey; their origins lie in Asia Minor and their relevance in decline.

Malvasia is responsible for producing a range of wines styles and colours; red and white, dry, sweet and sparkling. Perhaps better known for its ameliorative effect on Tuscan Vin Santo, providing honeyed smoky fruit intensity, while in Portugal& Madeira it reveals itself as Boal (Malvasia Fina) & Malmsey (Malvasia Candida) in the production of fortified wines.

Massimo Romeo is  a source of top-class Vin Santo di Montepulciano, while Barbeito is famed for its Malmsey Madeira.
