Description

A citrus-coloured wine with aromas of tropical fruit and volcanic notes from the poor basalt soils in the north of Madeira Island, together with nuances of toast and subtle, well-integrated wood. The palate is dry but creamy, with a marked acidity and a flavoursome, fresh, pleasant and slightly salty finish.

Very few producers, and especially in Madeira Wine, find in their history such a revolution, as the one that happened to Barbeito. Being a supplier of bulk wines and from one moment to the next becoming a reference in the Madeira Wine region is quite a feat. It all happened in 1991 when Ricardo Freitas joined the family company and decided, together with the Japanese Kinoshita with whom they had joined, to turn Barbeito into one of the most important producers of Madeira Wines.
