Quality grapes from the São Jorge region, on the north coast of the island. Must obtained using the traditional foot treading method.

LOT
Ricardo Diogo’s mother, Manuela Vasconcelos, began working with her grandfather, Mário Barbeito, in the 1970s. In 1989, he joined her and they began a new phase for Barbeito wines. Malvasia being his favourite grape variety, he decided to give his name to this blend. It is a blend of 40-year-old malvasia and much older malvasia, some from his collection and some from his grandfather. In July 2013, 1050 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.
