Production:

Madeira is a fortified wine style from the volcanic island of Madeira. Barbeito, a family-run Madeira producer, is one of the finest producers of Madeira wines. Founded in 1946 by Mario Barbeito, it has been passed on to the next generations to carry on with the work, still preserving the traditional methods of making and ageing Madeira wine.

This is a dry wine produced on the Portuguese island of Madeira. Made from Tinta Negra grapes grown on steeply terraced slopes of volcanic soil, grapes from various quality vineyards are pressed in a pneumatic press. Arresting of fermentation takes place at the desired degree of sweetness by adding vinic alcohol (96%). Matured in oak casks for up to 3 years before being blended and bottled. Sugar: 44.5 g/dm³

Notes: This is a fresh, invigorating and light-bodied wine. Caramelised fruits, figs, round and balanced with a soft dry end.

It can be served as an aperitif with nuts, tapas and cheese. Keep in a cool dry place. It was filtered and will keep well several months after opening
