  Barbeito Boal Reserva 5 years old Portugal Madeira Wine 50 cl 19%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67093-0120

  Vinhos Barbeito was founded in 1946, at a time when the Madeira industry was in decline, and has since grown into one of the island's most respected producers.

  Expert's Description

  Barbeito Boal Reserva is a Fortified Wine from Madeira, Portugal, with an alcohol content of 19%. Mário Barbeito de Vasconcelos, a former accountant for rival house Borges, saw an opportunity amid the industry's decline and began buying substantial stocks of old vintages from important families. After his death in 1985, his daughter Manuela de Vasconcelos took over management, and under her leadership Barbeito became, in 1993, the first Madeira producer to voluntarily switch its entire production to bottle ageing - today the house is one of only eight remaining Madeira producers. The Boal grape gives a medium-sweet style, and the Reserva designation indicates an average ageing time of around 5 years.

  Barbeito Sercial Reserva Velha 10 year Portugal Madeiravin 75 cl 19%

  Item no.: 22227865480-67688

  Barbeito Sercial Reserva Velha 10 year is a classic, dry Madeira with the elegant freshness and acidity that the Sercial grape is known for.

  Expert's Description

  Barbeito Sercial Reserva Velha 10 year is a Fortified Wine from Madeira, Portugal, made from Sercial with an alcohol content of 19%. The Barbeito house was founded in 1946 by Mário Barbeito de Vasconcelos and in 1993 was the first Madeira producer to voluntarily switch its entire production to bottle ageing. This edition is aged for at least 10 years in oak casks using the traditional canteiro method, where slow ageing under the sun's warmth gives depth, finesse and a distinctive nutty complexity. Sercial is the driest of Madeira's classic grape varieties and is typically grown high up on the island's slopes, where the cool climate preserves the grape's characteristic acidity.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Lively and aromatic on the nose with notes of citrus, dried fruits, roasted nuts and a hint of salty minerality.

  Palate

  Dry, taut and precise on the palate with fine acidity, light bitterness, orange peel and almonds.

  Finish

  The finish is long and clean.

  Serving & Food Pairing

  Serve at 12-14°C in a Madeira glass. Perfect both as an aperitif and with food, including shellfish, tapas or mature cheeses.

  Did You Know?

  The canteiro method, used to age this Sercial, involves storing the casks in attics or warehouses where they are naturally exposed to the sun's warmth over the years - a slower and more prestigious method than the faster estufagem technique used for cheaper Madeira wines.
