Vinhos Barbeito
5 Year Old Rainwater Reserva Medium Dry
In this long-lived wine, Tinta Negra and Verdelho aged in French oak casks over 5 years by the traditional Canteiro method, allowing the natural temperature and humidity in the winery’s warehouses to slowly evaporate the water from barrel, and concentrate the remaining wine. The resulting golden elixir is rich with caramel, nuts, almonds and candied fruits, stretching across a full, long and fresh palate.
"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
"80% Tinta Negra, 20% Verdelho from various quality vineyards from Estreito de Câmara de Lobos and Prazeres. Tinta Negra and Verdelho aged in French oak casks for an average of five years, canteiro method. TA 6.31 g/l, VA 0.34 g/l, pH, 3.47, RS 72 g/l. Apricot jam and a delicate creamy caramel note. Spice and wild meadow grass. Almost a touch of tannin with full-frontal bitter orange tugging at the sweet layers and ordering them into a neat, long, dry-tasting finish. So clean and gleaming bright. Drink anytime,” - 16.5/20 points, Tamlyn Curran, JancisRobinson.com
