Fernão Favila Vieira was born in 1930 in Funchal and graduated from the Faculty of Law, University of Lisbon. Diplomat by profession, he exercised functions in various parts of the world and was decorated Commander of the Order of Infante Dom Henrique as part of his duties. Throughout his life, he also dedicated himself to literary, journalistic and political activities. For this tribute I have chosen, among my favourites, the best wines from the Boal variety aged in our warehouses over the last 40 years, by the traditional Canteiro method, to which I have added others that are much older. In July 2018, 739 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.
