Tasting Notes

Barbeito are relative newcomers to Madeira, having been founded in 1946. Representing the third-generation, winemaker Ricardo Diogo deliberately makes Madeira in a lighter style, inspired by late-harvest wines. This is a blend of 80% Tinta Negra and 20% Verdelho, aged in French oak. It has a pale orange-amber hue with aromas and flavours of fresh caramelised orange and dried apricot. This is offset by fresh acidity, with a touch of apricot jam richness on the medium-sweet finish.


Critical Praise

"A wow nose if ever a Madeira wanted your attention with an orange burst that could only come from heritage varieties grown on what handful of trees are left in this world. The nuttiness is so subtle and so purposefully powerful without trying. Yes this is dessert wine but it can and should be so versatile so do not be afraid to taste this alongside some aged meat, beef, game or dried as ham, also winter sausage. Sip it late night, sip it anytime. The wine no longer needs to be in the glass to smell it halfway across the room. Drink 2019-2026. Tasted January 2019 and October 2020." - 94 points Michael Godel, WineAlign.com
