DENOMINATION
Madeira D.O.P
GRAPE VARIETIES
Malvasia
VINEYARDS AND VINIFICATION
Grapes from Arco de São Jorge. The must was obtained through foot treading. Arresting of fermentation takes place at the desired degree of sweetness by adding vinic alcohol 96%.
LOT
This lot 7199 limited to 1242 numbered bottles is the result of Ricardo Diogo’s tasting and selection from the best Malvasia wines aging in our warehouses which suffered strong influence from his family tradition, where the natural methods in the production and aging of Madeira wines have always been preserved. Blending younger wines with some much older, all aged in our old French oak casks, results in Barbeito’s unique style: the long elegant and fresh acidity at the end of the mouth.

TASTING NOTES AND HARMONIES
Pale tawny/lion colour. Really very old sort of nose, but with great dynamic fruit underneath. Then broad and dense and so long and energetic! No hint of caramel; so transparent. Bone dry, clean finish. Very fine indeed.

Excellent as a digestif, also pairs well with strong cheese.
