This lot is dedicated to someone who was a milestone in Ricardo Diogo’s professional career. Mr Yasuhiro Kinoshita was born on 26 April 1924 and died on 9 September 2003. It was in September 1945, that he took over the family business, enhancing it throughout his life. In 1967 he decided to represent our wine in Japan. Ricardo Diogo met Mr. Yasuhiro Kinoshita for the first time in June 1990 when he visited Madeira. He was, without a doubt, a person with great influence on his entry to Barbeito Wines and on the course of the company to the present day. In May 2019, 655 units were bottled, individually numbered.

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.
