O Produtor, tasting note published in August 15th 2022

This 40-year-old Malvasia presents itself with a dark amber colour. Robust and full in the mouth, it opens intense and perfumed, with flavours of orange, plum in syrup, clove, nutmeg, sandalwood and a slight "vinegariness". The harmony between sweetness and acidity are balanced in this wine of great complexity, fresh and full of elegance. With a persistent and irresistible aftertaste, slightly caramelised and spicy.

Vinhos Barbeito

In the early years our company concentrated its efforts in the production of bottled wine. New concepts of marketing in the Madeira wine business were introduced as well as innovative packaging like the wickered flagon. The quality of our wines gained an excellent reputation among consumers which helped to strenghten Barbeito’s image in the international market. In 1991 another important change occurred in our company: for first time someone from our family became responsible for the making of the wine. In 1993, after two years learning the “secrets” of our wines’ style and character as well as studying modern techniques of wine making, Ricardo Freitas faced alone his first grape harvest. Thinking of the future, we began building a working team in which all members work under the same motto: produce good quality wines with a unique style.

Since then Vinhos Barbeito never stopped investing in the purchase of good quality grapes to make fine wines. To achieve that goal, year after year, we work to establish closer relationships with farmers.
