Barbeito

Mário Barbeito was born in Funchal in 1905 and died in the same city in 1985. Besides wine, reading and books were his other great passions. The History of Madeira, the History of Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America were the main subjects of his library that exceeded twenty five thousand volumes, unfortunately taken away by the storm of February 2010. From among the wines that Ricardo Diogo has made over the last few years from São Jorge vineyards and those older ones left by his grandfather, he created this small batch of Bastardo over 50 years old in his honour. In June 2017, 550 units were bottled, all 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.
