O Produtor, tasting note published in October 10th 2021
Amber colour. Aromas of toasted nuts, caramel, plum, light smoke, dried tobacco leaf and some spice.
Velvety texture and well-cleaned edges from beginning to end. Firm and elegant.
This Boal 1978 was bottled for the first time in 2001. Until 2008 it was aged in casks and then all the wine was transferred to 60 litre demijohns. By transferring the wine to demijohns and keeping it in those containers until now, we had the intention of avoiding its excessive concentration, keeping the balance between acidity and sugar that we think is ideal in this wine. Aged in French oak barrels by the natural ageing process. Were bottled 618 units of 750 ml 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.
