Barbeito The Atlantic Rainwater

50cl / 18% – The Atlantic Rainwater Madeira from Barbeito is made in a lighter style known as ‘rainwater’ which, legend has it, came to be after a consignment of Madeira barrels bound for the US became diluted while sitting on Funchal Quay in the driving rain. Made with a blend of Verdelho, Tinta Negra and Sercial grapes – but no actual rainwater – it offers aromas of dried fruit, pistachios and lemon zest throughout the nose and palate.
