O Produtor, tasting note published in February 12th 2016
Amber colour. Lush bouquet. Sandalwood, exotic and smoked notes. Hints of balsamic, clove, liquorice and caramelised nuts. Creamy and sophisticated palate, spicy acidity but with a super subtle finish and finesse.
After 10 years, Ricardo Diogo keeps his promise and makes the second batch of Malvasia 30 years. This time, the tribute is for his grandmother. It is an important milestone in his history and the family tradition is thus represented by the launch of this blend for which he selected the best wines of the Malvasia grape variety aged by the traditional method of Canteiro in our warehouses. It is a wine that as a whole aims to be an example of a blend in which very old wines are added and where the sweetness almost goes unnoticed at the beginning and end of the mouth. In February 2016, 612 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.
