  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.
